We have extensive experience with assisting Norwegian and international clients navigate the legal issues and practicalities of doing business in China. Our Shanghai office is strategically located in the heart of China’s economic centre, and our team there is well-equipped to assist clients across all phases of their business operations in China.
As an award-winning supplier of legal services in China, we have been providing pragmatic and effective legal services to clients in China across various sectors since 2002. While we have a particular focus on the maritime industry, our expertise in China extends to commercial matters of many other sectors.
Our team in Shanghai is made up of seasoned PRC, Norwegian and English-qualified lawyers advising clients on a range of legal issues, including those related to foreign investments, M&A, compliance, cross-border data protection and international dispute resolution. In Norway, our lawyers have over 25 years of combined experience from working in China.
We are proud to be the only Nordic law firm with an office in China. Our Shanghai office plays an active role in the Nordic business community and works closely with the Norwegian Business Association in China, foreign stations and Innovation Norway.
In addition to assisting Norwegian and international clients, we also help Chinese companies with their legal issues in Mainland and abroad.
