UK-China Legal Exchange

10/12/2024

We recently hosted the inaugural event of our latest initiative, the “UK-China Legal Exchange”, bringing together 30 key players from Chinese businesses in the UK.  The event provided a valuable opportunity for attendees to connect with peers, exchange ideas, and forge valuable relationships. 

During this first session, we focused on enhancing support for Chinese businesses in the UK, particularly in terms of legal frameworks and corporate governance, while also discussing immediate actions arising from the recent Budget.

The key topics and takeaways included:

  • The specific needs and support that Chinese businesses require when engaging with professional legal advisors. 
  • The challenges and barriers Chinese businesses face and how legal professionals can help strengthen international trade and foster mutual benefits. 
  • How legal professionals can tailor their approaches to not only provide expert legal guidance but also assist Chinese businesses in understanding the complexities of cross-cultural dynamics. 
  • Practical steps in response to the recent Budget, including guidance on corporate, tax, employment, and immigration matters, as well as planning for international workforces, expatriates and their families.

The “UK-China Legal Exchange” provides a unique platform for leading Chinese business executives, industry practitioners and professional experts to share practical experience and exchange market insights, deepening mutual understanding and promoting international collaboration.  

Our goal is to not only enhance our clients’ legal knowledge and provide expert insights on key UK and international legal matters, while also bridging cultural differences fostering a deeper understanding of cross-culture dynamics.
