Common questions
WFOE or joint venture?
WFOEs suit full control where the sector is open; JVs fit restricted sectors or strategic local partners. Map the negative list first.
Do these lawyers work with foreign clients?
Many listed counsel assist foreign businesses and individuals. Check languages on each profile and request an English consultation when available.
What does a free initial intake cover?
Usually a short case assessment, whether China is the right jurisdiction, and practical next steps. It is not full representation; terms vary by lawyer.
Common setup cities?
Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou are frequent; secondary cities fit manufacturing and logistics.
What should I define before asking for a structure?
Prepare the ownership chart, proposed business scope, target city, investment source, capitalization plan, and launch timetable.
