Laowai Legal Information

Laowai Legal bridges the gap between western clients and local Chinese law firms. Only Chinese qualified lawyers working in Chinese law firms can give Chinese legal advice or represent you in Chinese courts or vis-a-vis Chinese government departments and agencies. However, the Chinese legal market is largely inaccessible to western clients, making finding the right local lawyer problematic: Laowai Legal, founded by three expat lawyers living in China and with substantial Chinese business experience, identifies and nurtures relationships with the best local lawyers in their respective fields and can refer its clients to the Chinese lawyers that best suit their needs. Laowai Legal's services range from a simple referral to ongoing involvement between the client and the Chinese lawyer to assist communication and understanding as well as business strategy. Alternatively Laowai Legal's clients can outsource their Chinese legal practice management to Laowai Legal to comprehensively take care of and manage their Chinese legal requirements. Laowai Legal is not a law firm and does not offer any legal advice: its function is to facilitate access to the Chinese legal sector for non-Chinese clients.
