China Desk

Our China Desk comprises lawyers from across a wide range of practice areas who have experience of working with clients from China and the AsiaPac region who have business interests in the UK or the many other jurisdictions in which we operate.

Our China Desk includes lawyers who speak native Mandarin and Cantonese and who possess an intimate working knowledge of Greater China and the region's business culture, having lived and worked there over a number of years. In close collaboration with our Hong Kong office we offer a comprehensive variety of legal services to multinational businesses across sectors including insurance, shipping, trade and commodities, energy and infrastructure and financial services.

We regularly advise businesses from Greater China who operate in different jurisdictions and trade across international borders on all aspects of commercial, legal and regulatory risk, in areas including the set-up and operation of local offices, regulatory compliance, competition law, property investment, fraud and corruption, cyber and data protection, commercial contracts and litigation.

Additionally, via our network of local firms in Mainland China, Taiwan and the wider Asia-Pac, we offer our clients on-the-ground capability in the areas of dispute resolution, international arbitration and insurance business including marine and aviation.
