Meet the Team
用中文（表達
As the Chinese government encourages its businesses to explore previously untapped markets, our talented partners and professionals are ready with their technical expertise, cultural insight, valuable connections and outstanding language proficiency.
An Innate Understanding of Chinese Business and Culture
With deep experience across diverse industries in both the public and private sectors, our specialists support Chinese enterprises entering U.S. markets and American companies expanding into China. Their in-depth grasp of Chinese and U.S. customs and business operations equips them to develop innovative, yet realistic, cross-border solutions to a range of business circumstances and situations.

Uncommon Partner Involvement
Unlike at other firms, our partners actively participate in client engagements, bringing to bear their past experience serving in Chinese national, provisional and municipal government positions as well as the strong connections they still maintain there.
“Fulfilling client objectives is paramount. We achieve this by combining technical expertise with real-time experience in Asian markets.”
