" The good lawyer is not the man who has an eye to every side and angle of contingency, and qualifies all his qualifications, but who throws himself on your part so heartily, that he can get you out of a scrape."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
How We Work
WE GRASP THE BIG PICTURE AND GET TO THE BOTTOM LINE.
With decades of experience in the field as in-house GCs advising some of the world's largest businesses on every aspect of their China operations, it has become our second nature to see through the complexity and get to the bottom line. Having acted as senior executives in complex Global operations, we are able to grasp big business pictures and identify the optimal ways of working in achieving winning results.
WE SPEAK OUR CLIENTS' LANGUAGE AND GET RIGHT TO THE POINT.
Our advice is quick, accurate, practical and, most importantly, aimed at getting problems solved. We do not believe in lengthy legal memorandums expounding on every fine point of the law. We give our clients ready-to-use solutions, often times, over a quick phone call - something, as former corporate counsels and clients ourselves, we had always wanted from our lawyers, but rarely, if ever, get from traditional law firms.
WE ACT AS THE CHINA EXTENSION OF OUR CLIENTS IN-HOUSE LEGAL TEAM.
Aside from the strong China legal and regulatory expertise we bring to the table, our clients benefit tremendously from our ability to work directly and effectively with their business and management teams to provide pragmatic and sound legal counseling and solutions. It is not always easy to find the necessary combination of these legal and business skills.
We are available to work on-site at our clients' locations. We gain deep knowledge of their business that allows us to develop trust relationship with their key business and management teams. We act as the China regional extension of our clients' Global legal departments and, at the same time, a part of their China business teams.
WE ARE THE QUARTERBACKS OF THE LOCAL LEGAL TEAM
We are known to be some of the most effective China counsels because of our experience in handling complex matters and litigations. We have also built up decades of collaborations with a selected group of Chinese speciality lawyers and consultants, so wherever needed, we are able to quickly pull into our team the right lawyers or consultants to work together with us.
We are the quarterbacks of the local legal team committing to deliver the best results to our clients in the most effective and cost efficient way. Our fee quotation will also be integrated to reflect our "One Team", cost efficient approach.
