China Employer Audits and Signed Employment Agreements

No foreign employer is too small for China’s employment law regulators and in some respects the smaller you are, the greater your risks. I say this because when a company with 5,000 employees has a problem with five employees, it’s not that big a deal, but when a five-employee company has a problem with two

The Nationalist Agenda Behind China Opening Up to Foreign Banks

China’s Nationalist Agenda Behind Its Opening Up to Foreign Banks

In a recent op-ed, I wrote how the controversy over Disney’s Mulan embodies some of the ethical dilemmas and pitfalls that face companies doing business in China. On one hand, to maintain their presence in China these companies must comply with the demands and expectations of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). On the other hand,

China Mergers and Acquisitions: When Your Due Diligence Says Don’t Do It

My law firm’s international lawyers do a significant amount of transactional work, which we call “happy law.” It’s generally happy because the buyer and seller largely know what they want from the other side and they have already agreed in principle on what the deal will look like. Both sides bring in transactional lawyers like

So You Want to Take Your Business Global?

We were prompted to write this post by talk that Mexico should consider joining the RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership).

Do You Have a China Company? Are You Sure?

One of the things my law firm’s China lawyers are always saying and seeing is how China is constantly getting more legalistic, especially with foreign companies doing business in China. I used to believe this would lead foreign companies to become more careful, but this has not happened. Too many foreign companies — for all

Foreign Company Due Diligence

It goes without saying you should choose good business partners abroad. The kind of partner that doesn’t like getting sued … and hence doesn’t give you reason to sue them. Partners that won’t steal your IP. But just how can you know a partner is reliable before you do business with them and put them

We lawyers are known as deal-killers. I’ve also been called a dream-killer by one of my clients. Most lawyers get offended by those monikers and vehemently deny it. I’m happy to own up to it. Clients come to me all excited about a deal, and I see it as my job to point out the
