China Experience
To be successful in the Chinese market, the right contacts, connections and local ‘know-how’ are crucial to facilitate transactions. Managing a Chinese asset finance deal in China requires tremendous depth and breadth of local knowledge, customs and conventions. We pride ourselves in understanding our clients’ needs and providing an unrivaled legal service capability for those within China and wanting to do business with China.
Global Reach
With decades of experience in working on cross border financing and leasing transactions, we have built up extensive networks and contacts, with equity providers, lenders, arrangers, financial institutions and international law firms that extend throughout the globe.
