China

For over 40 years, our lawyers in mainland China and the Hong Kong SAR have worked with China's companies to build, expand and protect their businesses and operations around the world, and advised international companies and financial institutions investing and operating in China.

Our teams advise across a broad range of industries, with standout strengths in energy and resources, infrastructure, telecommunications, media and technology, financial services, manufacturing, and consumer goods.

We are one of the few international law firms that can offer clients seamless access to PRC law through our Herbert Smith Freehills Kewei joint operation in Shanghai, the efficiencies of our China Digital Legal Delivery team, and a growing presence in the booming Greater Bay Area.

Our China lawyers advise on a full suite of legal matters, including disputes, corporate, capital markets, regulatory, energy, projects and infrastructure, and banking and finance.

From offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, our multicultural team has a deep understanding of both international and Chinese business and corporate culture with lawyers qualified in a range of jurisdictions, including England & Wales, the US, Hong Kong, mainland China, Australia, and Southeast Asia.

You will also benefit from our 23-office network covering key financial centres and growth hubs, including an extensive presence across Asia and EMEA and a growing US footprint.

With China's relevance to the global economy only set to grow, we can provide insight into the sectors and challenges that will impact you most.
