Why is legal support in China critical for your business?
China is a country with a unique legal system and strict requirements for foreign companies.
Lack of knowledge of local laws and procedures can lead to legal risks, financial losses, and reputational damage.
Legal support helps minimize these risks by providing:
- Proper company registration: choosing the optimal legal form (WFOE, JV, representative office) considering the specifics of the business.
- Contract drafting and review: ensuring legal clarity of transactions and safeguarding the client’s interests.
- Dispute resolution: representation in judicial and arbitration authorities in China.
- Consulting on tax and labor issues: tax optimization and compliance with labor legislation.
Key areas of legal support for business in China
- Registration and selection of legal form
One of the first steps when entering the Chinese market is to choose and register an appropriate legal form.
The most common are:
- WFOE (Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise): a fully foreign company allowing control over the business without local partners.
- JV (Joint Venture): a joint venture with a Chinese partner, which may be mandatory in certain industries.
- Representative office: limited functions, primarily for marketing and research.
