Sydney-law work
Host-country counsel leads
Sydney entity, employment, regulatory, transaction, court, arbitration, property, and private-client questions normally require appropriately qualified local counsel.
China-law work
China counsel may remain relevant
PRC approvals, outbound investment, foreign exchange, tax, data, employment, and enforcement questions may need a separate China workstream. One listing does not imply dual qualification.

Consultation preparation
What to send before speaking with counsel
A focused first message helps a lawyer assess fit, urgency, conflicts, and likely next steps. Prepare:
- a short summary of the issue and the outcome you want;
- a dated timeline, including any filing, hearing, termination, or response deadline;
- the key contract, notice, correspondence, registration, or decision documents;
- the names and locations of the parties so the lawyer can check conflicts and jurisdiction; and
- your preferred working language and whether you need an initial budget or fee estimate.
Do not send originals or unnecessary sensitive data before engagement terms and a secure document channel are confirmed.
