The Liuming International team’s real expertise as China lawyers is concentrated in four separate but closely related areas:

Transactions for investment and M&A, Intellectual Property and contracts, need to be supported with on the ground experience in tax, employment, anti-trust, anti corruption, good governance and overall compliance if they are to be effective. This is our corporate and compliance responsibility. Managing these issues well leaves the transaction team free to concentrate on implementing the commercial transaction, confident that it it complies with China’s and home country requirements.

China is the manufacturing centre for the world and contracts in various forms are the tools that make it all happen. Real understanding of how things are done in China, and where things could go wrong, is necessary if transactions are to deliver the promised result. The Liuming International team is well known for its expertise in contracts of all types, particularly those involving large sums and the delivery of complex equipment to meet a critical schedule.

Every China transaction has an intellectual property element and it is very important that the strategy for this is part of the basic structure. Very often the first step in the transaction is IP related so that all relevant protection is put in place to provide a sound foundation for the overall transaction.

Investment and M&A continues to be a substantial area of commerce in China. Strategy is all important, but structuring the transaction to comply with China’s regulatory regime and maximising commercial benefits is also crucial to success in China. Effective negotiation skills ensure that commercial benefits are not lost in that part of the deal process.
