The basics
Knowing and complying with local laws is something you should always consider, wherever you are running your business. Partnering and cooperating with experienced law professionals can bring you insights into Chinese law and practices and facilitate and promote business transactions, whether you are operating in China or communicating with Chinese business partners.
The legal teams have advised on some of the major concerns that you probably run into when doing business in China, including foreign investment, dispute resolution, intellectual property protection, employment and compensation, and more.

How it works
Quick answer: Hongda also coordinates legal work in five further areas. Select an area for detail.
Stage 1 of 5
Forming your own WFOE or JV used to be the traditional method for foreigners to invest in the Chinese market. In recent years, mergers and acquisitions have obtained popularity to expand business in this country.
Stage 2 of 5
Running into disputes and conflicts happens wherever you run your business. This can be more complex when the commercial background in a foreign country differs in language, cultural norms, and management standards.
Stage 3 of 5
Not all foreign investment projects are successful or sustainable, and some may decide to close their Chinese entity for various reasons. Legal closing of a company can be more challenging than registering a new company.
Stage 4 of 5
Handling matters regarding human resources can be the most important part of the successful operation of your company, especially when it comes to achieving the most cost-effective target while complying with the law.
Stage 5 of 5
Your intellectual properties are valuable assets of your company, and protecting IP rights should be a critical component of the business operation.
