China Cross-Border Transactional Practice
An important part of Fulbright's international practice involves the representation of clients that are engaged in investment, acquisition, project development, financing, manufacturing, trading and other transactions and matters in and involving China.
Fulbright handles both in-bound and out-bound matters with respect to China. We have advised many American, European and other businesses on the strategy, structure, documentation, negotiation and implementation of their investments, acquisitions, financings and other projects in China.
