Our international roots and experiences allow us to effectively engage our local and international clients in trade, business, and intellectual property abroad. At Chan Law Group, we are experienced in assisting our clients with setting up local offices in the US, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore, registering patent, trademark and copyright in U.S. and China and other Asian countries, structuring and negotiating transactions between Americans and the Chinese, and aggressively litigating lawsuits involving the United States and China litigants. We are fluent in English and Chinese and just as comfortable doing business in the U.S. as in China. All our lawyers and staff are sensitive to cultural issues critical to communicating with foreign clients and opposing parties in resolving disputes. We are simply ideal in facilitating trade between the two countries.

Our managing partner was the first to successfully put together the first PC software joint venture in China when China first opened its borders. The deal was so highly valued by the Chinese government; it was reported on the front page of the Chinese official newspaper, the People’s Daily. He was also among the first to lobby the Chinese government to protect intellectual property. His anti-counterfeiting work in Hong Kong was unprecedented. Our lawyers have since structured and negotiated numerous U.S. and Greater China transactions and registered many trademark and patent in both countries.

At Chan Law Group, we understand the cultural and legal complexities in dealing with international business and trade. Contact Chan Law Group for more information on foreign trade, business transaction, patent and trademark registration or litigation.

Our lawyers have successfully assisted many foreign individuals and businesses to enter the U.S. market, face litigation before the unique American litigation and jury system. At Chan Law Group, Our attorneys speak both English and Chinese fluently and are aware of the many cultural barriers and biases foreigners face when entering a U.S. courtroom.

We speak Mandarin and Cantonese fluently, with understanding of Shanghainese, and are intimately familiar with Asian culture and local customs. We have an extensive network of lawyers and business contacts all over China.
