The opening and reforming history of China in the past 20 years is also a history of making new laws and regulations all the way long. Laws and regulations made in different periods of the reforming normally bear the typical traces of that period which makes China,s enterprises legal system and market legal system a fairly huge and complicated one. As China entered into WTO, she is gradually mixing with international track both in terms of markets and laws. The changing of market competition environment and legal rules become a big challenge for the enterprises decision makers. Either the enterprises, decision makers or mangers can hardly make detailed research both in company management and legal policies. So, systematic legal service to enterprises by specialized legal agencies becomes a good solution.

Yet the traditional legal service is a passive mode ----- lawyers only get involved when an enterprise encounters with legal affairs that must be done by lawyers. The traditional legal service mainly deals with lawsuits, mostly solving existed legal disputes; seldom helps protect enterprises from possible future disputes. Our lawyers, when providing legal services to enterprises, are more encouraged to play an active role. When helping solving the problems of an enterprise, our lawyers will take the initiative to understand the business activities of an enterprise, to point out possible legal risks and propose protecting measures. Especially for enterprises retaining us on permanent basis, our lawyers will, on the basis of understanding the evolution of an enterprise, its charter and regulations, reforming structures, its products, its service and other business activities, formulate a mid-long term legal service plan for the enterprise in cooperation with the development strategy of the enterprise.

Our clients include domestic and foreign enterprises, they are either, limited liability companies or stock share companies, state-owned companies, collective and private enterprises, foreign invested enterprises, multinational companies and other foreign companies.

Legal Advisory Service
Team work is our specialty, our legal advisory service to a client will at least involve 2 lawyers.  Our legal opinion is usually issued by collecting points of views from several lawyers specialized in different fields, so it is a collection of special knowledge and experience of lawyers from several special fields. And because of this, we are able to provide service in many fields such as corporate set-up, share transfer, acquisition and merger, corporate form rehabilitate, foreign exchange, tax, employer and employee relations and so on.

Active service is one of our main principles to serve our clients. At the signing of a legal advisory contract, our lawyers will investigate the history and present situation of the enterprise trying to understand deeply the background and requirement of the enterprise, make out a detailed legal advisory working plan, and propose solutions to findings during studying the corporate rules and regulations, management activities, major decision process and so on.

During our service, our lawyers will introduce in written form relevant laws and regulations and case updates regarding the business activities of the client. The client can ask to meet our lawyers at any time for urgent affairs, and our lawyers can also work at site at appointed time to provide  professional explanations and legal opinions towards the concerned or possible met matters by the client. Such active service will strengthen our communications with clients and save time, and will find and solve problems on time, which result in a most reasonable match of both sides,manpower and material resources.
