Boutique advisoryBeijing, ChinaCross-border practice
Cross-border investment and business advisory — from market entry to resolution.
We advise small and medium-sized enterprises on establishing, operating and protecting their
interests in China, and Chinese enterprises on doing business abroad. One team, one point of
contact, from first enquiry to final outcome.
Market entry and entity formation — WFOE, equity and contractual joint ventures,
representative offices — together with due diligence, transaction closing and ongoing
operational support.

Business Advisory
Corporate establishment and restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, negotiation,
bilingual documentation, compliance, and the practical day-to-day questions that arise
once a business is running.
03
Dispute Resolution
Civil and commercial disputes in China or in an overseas jurisdiction, pursued through
litigation or alternative dispute resolution, with an eye on cost as much as outcome.
Who we work with
A boutique practice, built for enterprises that need judgement rather than volume.
Our clients are mainly international enterprises and individuals doing business in China —
manufacturers setting up their first entity, investors looking into a target company,
owners of vessels built in Chinese yards, sports and cultural organisations building a
presence, and families arranging their personal and financial affairs.
We also act for Chinese companies and professional athletes on their commercial and legal
matters, both at home and in overseas jurisdictions.
As a boutique practice, the person you speak to at the first meeting is usually the
person who handles the matter.
Our network
One-stop service, delivered across borders.
We maintain an established international network of professional organisations — law firms,
accounting firms, investment banks and corporate advisors — enabling us to extend our services
globally and to coordinate the specialists a transaction actually requires.

How we work
Specialists collaborate; clients get a straight answer, in their own language, at a cost
that reflects the work actually done.
Bilingual throughout
Meetings, documents and negotiations conducted in English and Chinese, without a relay of intermediaries.
Flexible engagement
Retainer, project or hourly. We scope the work with you before it begins, so there are no surprises.
Practitioner-led
Advisors with backgrounds in law, accounting, real estate, intellectual property, labour and immigration.
Confidential by default
An initial conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Tell us what you are planning.
Whether you are setting up your first entity in China, reviewing a potential investment, or
facing a dispute, an early conversation usually saves time and cost later.
