Uncompromising Excellence in Tech and Media Law


Global Reach, Local Expertise: As a specialist in China’s new economy and media sectors, we have an exceptional track record helping our clients overcome all of the challenges that come when operating in these dynamic sectors. We work with the most prominent companies in the world on inbound and outbound China and cross-border initiatives, driving growth and controlling risk. Our long experience and depth of engagement enable us to leverage continuously updated intelligence on market dynamics and the latest regulatory issues, giving our clients the confidence they need to make aggressive investments.

Digital Convergence, Strategic Advantage: Whether it’s a social-commerce IPO, script-to-screen film production, global ad campaign, or a public-private data center partnership, the digital convergence is driving tumultuous change and opportunity across the technology and media landscape. In China, this is compounded by the twin challenges of intense competition and heavy regulation. For companies looking beyond China, our expertise and connections open doors and solve problems. Our team knows the issues, and has always been driven by a passionate commitment to giving our clients the clear, consistent advice they need to seize opportunities and mitigate risks in one of the world’s most complex markets.
