Wragge & Co has enforced IP rights for household name global businesses in many regions of China. We have substantial and growing experience of the local issues which affect litigation in different parts of this huge country.

Guangzhou is the bustling centre of China's most industrial region. It is where much of the world's manufacturing, engineering and innovation takes place. Close proximity to other commercial centres Shenzhen, Dongguan and Hong Kong means we are quickly on hand to deal with legal issues arising in the region.

Types of clients include UK or international businesses with China operations and Chinese companies.

Speaking your language

Some matters will require the services of a domestic law firm. Our Chinese-speaking lawyers work with trusted local law firms when Chinese law is called for.

Knowledge of Chinese law, procedure, practice and customs, together with our understanding of your commercial objectives and service requirements enable us to smooth the path between the Chinese legal system and your business.
