Context

As Chinese enterprises expand overseas, the legal environment they face has become materially more complex: cross-border compliance, data security and cross-border data transfer, antitrust exposure, and the risk of commercial crime allegations in host jurisdictions.

What the Firm Does

Drawing on its commercial criminal law practice and its Sino-US exchanges, the firm advises boards and senior management on pre-investment compliance diligence, the design of anti-bribery and export-control programmes, data governance across jurisdictions, and the response to investigations — whether by Chinese authorities or by regulators abroad.

Approach

Compliance is treated as a commercial function rather than a legal formality: the question is not only whether a structure is lawful, but whether it will withstand scrutiny when a transaction, a transfer or a payment is examined years later.
