Our China Practice
Our China practice, headed by Paul Davies, advises local and international clients on a wide range of legal issues and transactions.
A number of our lawyers are fluent in Mandarin and other local dialects, and have considerable experience across the region, understanding the challenges our clients face. They are able to draw upon the expertise of our lawyers across the wider firm to deliver high calibre advice wherever and whenever our clients need it.
We have close working relationships with many leading independent Chinese law firms and currently have a lawyer seconded to a full-service firm in the region.
