We advise the world’s leading technology, media, and consumer-facing companies on their most complex cross-border and regulatory challenges. Our clients include Fortune 500 corporations, major multinational enterprises, and high-growth innovators operating at global scale.
For more than 20 years, we have been deeply embedded in the evolution of China’s internet, media, and technology sectors. We work across legacy and emerging industries, advising on market entry, global investment initiatives, regulatory and compliance matters, corporate and commercial transactions, intellectual property, employment, and sophisticated financing and transactional matters, including PE and VC investments, M&A, and IPOs.
Our long-standing work with both global market leaders and China’s most sophisticated enterprises gives our team uncommon breadth and perspective. Clients rely on us for practical, execution-oriented counsel that enables confident decision-making where regulation, technology, and global strategy intersect.
As China’s global footprint has grown, our clients have trusted us to represent their interests beyond China’s borders as well. Utilizing our global network of clients and allied firms, we support Chinese enterprises and their partners by identifying and facilitating investment opportunities worldwide.
