For over 15 years, Cuatrecasas has been advising Spanish and Portuguese companies with interests in China and Chinese companies with interests on the Iberian Peninsula. With the opening of our Shanghai office in 2007, and our Beijing office in 2017, we advise Chinese companies with global interests in Europe, Latin America and Africa, as well as European and Latin American companies with interests in China.
The Asian Desk comprises a multidisciplinary team of Chinese, Portuguese and Spanish lawyers from different practice areas and based at different offices, who share specialized understanding of the characteristics of China’s legal system, business methods, and markets, as well as knowledge of the Chinese culture and language. In addition to a large group of lawyers dedicated to investments in China, the Asian Desk has a team of lawyers permanently based at our Shanghai and Beijing offices. This set-up enables Cuatrecasas to offer each client a team of professionals with the right experience and training, as well as expertise and industry knowledge, required in every case.
The Asian Desk also collaborates with international legal teams and provides legal advice on acquiring a company or incorporating a subsidiary; participating in joint ventures; organizing a distribution network; negotiating with agents, distributors and employees; investing in public infrastructure; buying and selling property and hotels; the tax treatment of any transactions carried out in the relevant regions; and on litigation proceedings, including civil and commercial litigation, and arbitration.
