Winston helps international and Chinese clients navigate the changing business and regulatory landscape in pursuing opportunities in China and assists private and public China-based clients conducting outbound business activities. Navigating through the country’s legal landscape requires a trusted advisor with proven experience, cross-border expertise, and industry-specific insight. Located in Lujiazui, the center of this major financial hub of China, the Shanghai office consists of foreign-qualified attorneys who have studied and practiced Chinese law and excel at bridging the gap between Western and Chinese legal concepts as well as cultural and commercial differences. They stay abreast of the fast-changing legal and regulatory environment across the region, and are adept at translating the local laws and regulations to actionable advice for international companies.

Chinese law capabilities: Winston’s China practice combines the firm’s global capabilities with our strategic alliance with Yuanda China Law Offices, one of China’s leading local law firms. Known as YuandaWinston, the team combines first-hand knowledge of China’s legal, political and regulatory environment and offers a strong bench of nearly 50 attorneys, many with prior experience in roles throughout China’s judiciary, prosecutor’s offices, government agencies, and in-house legal department of large corporations. The team’s knowledge of China’s complex legal environment helps clients navigate regulatory complexities, cross-border transactions and investigations, minimize risk and successfully engage with government agencies.
