Associates
Speciality and Education
We are proud of our excellent
well-performed associates who have accumulated substantial experience in the
areas of Chinese intellectual property laws including but not limited to
filing, prosecuting, licensing, franchising, administratively enforcing, custom
recording and judicially protecting patents, trademarks and copyrights, as well
as in each area of Chinese commercial laws, in particular in mergers and
acquisitions, foreign direct investment in China, corporate governance and
compliance, restructuring and reorganization, labor and employment, commercial
arbitration and litigation in China, international business and trade.
Most of our associates
graduate with their master or doctor degrees from top Chinese and overseas law schools
with honors, such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, People’s
University of China, China University of Politic Science and Law, London School
of Economics and Political Science, Macau University of Science and Technology,
or worked for some reputable international law firms for long and received
professional training there. So our associates not only know Chinese laws very
well, but also practise in the same ways and standards as those adopted by
international law firms.
Former
Experience
Our associates are
active practitioners for Chinese intellectual property or commercial laws for
many years. They had practised Chinese laws in some large Chinese intellectual
property firms serving for large multi-national companies and occupying
positions such as patent attorneys and trademark attorneys or in some leading
American, European and Hong Kong based international law firms as associates
focusing on foreign direct investment, mergers and acquisitions, corporate
governance, compliance and reorganization, labor and employment, international
trade and disputes resolution for long. Some of them once worked in Chinese
governmental or judicial authorities or study and practised in some other
jurisdictions for years before joining in our firm or have been trained in
other international law firms. So our associates have extensive experience in
representing our foreign clients in prosecuting trademarks or patents before
the State Trademark Office or the State Intellectual Property Office or
arbitration before the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration
Commission. Thanks for their deep understanding on Chinese laws and regulations
as well as their long and rich practice experience, our associates can design
ideal deal structures which comply with Chinese laws for our clients’
cross-board transactions involving China and other direct investment, mergers
and acquisitions, and disputes resolution in China, and also get our clients’
economic interests protected to the greatest extent permitted by Chinese laws.
Reliability
and Language
The high quality legal
services by our associates and their expertise in Chinese intellectual property
and commercial laws, knowledge of up-to-date legal developments in these fields
as well as rich professional experience guarantee the economic interests of our
foreign clients in China and further assure satisfaction of our domestic and
foreign clients to the utmost. Our domestic and foreign clients can expect
reliable and efficient legal services in each area of Chinese intellectual
property and commercial laws from our associates.
All of our associates,
paralegals and translators are fluent in English and Mandarin and some other
Chinese dialects, such as Shanhainese and Cantonese. English is our working
language. We deliver our legal services in English to clients and draft various
memorandums and other legal documents in English and also prepare for the
respective Chinese versions when our foreign clients have to submit relevant
documents to Chinese authorities for examination and approval.
