China

China's ambitious and increasingly outward-looking, technology driven economy is an important market for our international clients. Having recognised its potential at an early stage, we have one of the strongest track records in successfully advising on Sino-foreign transactions and investments for more than three decades. 

We set up our first Chins office in Shanghai in 1996. As the Chinese economy has evolved, our China expertise has grown with it.

Our Taylor Wessing China group consists of professionals who can handle complex multi-jurisdictional transactions and investment projects. 

Advising on the full range of legal matters, we are best known for our corporate/M&A, intellectual property, commercial, employment and real estate work. Our clients include multi-national corporations and medium-sized companies as well as Chinese state-owned enterprises, investment banks and firms.

Our sector-specific expertise and approach means we are well positioned to advise on legal and strategic aspects of our clients’ business across various sectors, including the technology, life sciences and healthcare, automotive and mobility and cleantech sectors. 

Over the decades, we have developed strong and highly co-operative relationships with Chinese government organisations and administrative entities on a central, provincial and local level. We also have strong links to several Chinese law firms and other professional services firms operating in the region and can, help you navigate the complexities of local regulatory and cultural requirements.
