Corporate & Commercial

End-to-end advice for companies navigating the PRC’s corporate and investment framework.

We advise Chinese and international companies on the PRC Company Law, foreign investment access, licensing, sector restrictions and day-to-day compliance. Our lawyers combine legal analysis with practical business insight so clients can establish, acquire and operate businesses in China with clarity.

M&A, capital markets and restructuring

Our transactional work covers equity and asset acquisitions, private equity, joint ventures, corporate governance, state-owned asset considerations and SAFE-related foreign-exchange issues. We manage legal due diligence, transaction documents, regulatory conditions and post-closing integration.

We also advise companies, creditors and investors on reorganisations, debt workouts, equity adjustments and enterprise bankruptcy proceedings under PRC law, with a preference for preserving viable businesses and commercial value.
