Our experience in Asia started in the early 90s and materialized in 2007 when we opened our Shanghai office. In 2017, we strengthened our presence in the country by opening our Beijing office.
We also count with a multidisciplinary team of lawyers from several offices and practice areas, who share an in-depth knowledge of the culture and business environment of the rest of main Asian markets, including Australia, India, Japan, Korea, and southeast Asia.
We advise them on carrying out investments in China and other countries in the region, teaming up with top local firms when required. Our presence and understanding of the region and well-established presence in Spain and Portugal are key to providing solutions and delivering discerning assistance.
Our teams in Shanghai and Beijing, together with a team of lawyers in Spain and Portugal, seamlessly assist clients investing in Europe, specifically Spain, Portugal, Latin America and Africa.
