PARTNERSHIPS · GOVERNANCE · EMPLOYMENT
Good business starts
with clear agreements.
Practical Chinese-law support for working with local partners, managing a company in mainland China and making the next business decision.
YOUR SITUATION
Bring the commercial plan. We will work through the terms.
Tell us what the business needs to achieve, who is involved and what is already agreed. We translate those priorities into a defined legal work scope and explain the choices in English.
A business operating in China
Support corporate decision-making, shareholder arrangements, commercial contracts and employment matters within an agreed advisory scope.
A growing project or team
Identify who owns the work, who can approve a change and what happens if the project changes direction. Connect the main agreement with practical approval and record-keeping arrangements.
OUR APPROACH
From the facts
to the next action.
Work is scoped to the matter. Meetings, correspondence and progress updates can be handled in English.
- 01
Understand the transaction
Review the business objective, parties, proposed terms, decision-makers and timing. Identify any specialist advice needed beyond the agreed scope.
- 02
Make the choices explicit
Provide contract revisions, a focused issues list or negotiation support, as agreed. Distinguish essential protections from commercial choices.
- 03
Support implementation
Confirm responsibilities, approval steps and records. For ongoing advisory work, agree the included matters, communication arrangements and how additional work is approved.
PREPARING FOR A DISCUSSION
A useful starting point.
Mark which terms are already agreed and which remain open. Keep versions separate so that changes can be traced.
- The parties and the commercial objective
- The latest draft and any earlier agreed terms
- Proposed price, payment schedule and key deliverables
- Decision-makers and the signing deadline
- Questions you want the review to resolve
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before we begin.
Can you discuss the contract with our overseas management team?
Yes. Meetings, correspondence and matter updates can be handled in English. The language of the final contract, opinion or other deliverable is confirmed in the engagement scope.
Can a review be limited to the main risks?
Yes, where that is suitable for the matter. We agree the documents, questions, deliverables and extent of review first, so that a limited review is not mistaken for a comprehensive one.
How does ongoing legal support work?
We agree the types of work covered, responsible contacts and fee arrangements. Work outside that scope is discussed separately before it begins.
A PLACE TO START
