Businesses operating
in China's developing regulatory and legal systems
are subject to a wide range of risks.
Unclear government regulations have led companies
to make investments that were later declared
illegal. In other
situations, China's incomplete rule of law has
left investors unprotected when partners fail
to properly follow-through with agreements. Although China's accession to the
WTO promises to improve intellectual property
protection, the country is still infamous for
IPR violations.
The Risk Management
Group draws on first-hand experience to help
clients prevent problems, improve protection
of investments and interests, define effective
strategies when problems arise and develop cost-effective
solutions tailored to meet their specific needs.
Our integrated approach to risk management takes
full advantage of key contacts in government
and industry, integral components to understanding
the client's situation and to rectifying problems.
