China
Our years of experience in China, and track record on numerous complex international investments into China, have provided us with an exceptional understanding of the local legal and economic landscape. Our ties with China are personal, not just business.

Nicolas Groffman
Partner, Head of International
If you’re doing business with anyone outside the UK, I’m the person to speak with to make it happen easily and reduce the risk for your business. I’m passionate about helping people from different cultures work together to achieve something greater than would have been possible by themselves. I work to provide political and commercial solutions as well as legal ones, and assist my clients in real time – no matter what time zone they’re in
How we deliver what you need in China
We draw on the resources of more than 40 lawyers at different firms in China, with expertise in different areas of law. We also have a strong network of friends in Chinese business, commerce, government and politics through our own personal connections in China.
Unlike other firms that simply outsource Chinese legal work to Chinese law firms they barely know, we do as much Chinese legal advice work in-house to avoid the restrictions of China’s cyber security law and its restrictions on lawyers’ abilities to guarantee confidentiality. For security reasons, all client materials relating to advice around China are retained on our own UK servers, meaning we can provide legal advice on anything you might want to do. Where necessary, we draw on the expertise of trusted lawyers in China with special expertise.
Adding value for clients in China
Our expertise and connections in China enable us to provide additional value for our clients including:
- In-country investigations and due diligence
- Negotiations with Chinese counter-parties
- Risk-minimisation.
For our clients doing business in China, we also advise on the following:
- Personal security
- Marketing and branding
