Mergers and acquisitions
The time may come in your business when you have the opportunity to acquire a competitive or complementary business. We assist with foreign-investment transactions involving mergers and acquisitions, overseas companies, and domestic companies, including the due diligence aspects of the transaction. Our company verification services are designed to conduct background searches and advise you on asset preservation strategies.
Compliance
Tax
China does not generally recognize trademarks and other intellectual property that is registered in foreign jurisdictions and has a first-to-file law that respects ownership interests of the individuals and companies that first register the intellectual property with the company.
Thanks to our trademark registration services, we can help you protect your ideas, patents, inventions, and other intellectual property by registering it with the appropriate Chinese entities. We also assist with licensing and enforcement activities.
Intellectual property
