A legal corridor is not a checklist. It is a sequence of connected decisions.
Get the facts into view early, identify where China-side and Israel advice intersect, then take the route that matches the commercial move—not a generic practice-area label.

Questions at the first call
Practical starting points.
Can a Chinese investor establish or acquire an Israeli company?
Potentially. The suitable structure depends on the activity, governance, tax, banking, sector regulation, competition, technology and export controls, government funding, workforce, data, and other transaction-specific requirements.
Why check Innovation Authority funding during diligence?
Funding terms may affect royalties, reporting, local manufacturing, restructuring, and transfers of supported know-how or production. Identify every grant and programme, then confirm current obligations and approvals with Israeli counsel.
Can Israeli personal data be transferred to China?
Potentially, if a lawful transfer condition applies and the controller addresses contractual commitments, permitted use, security, onward transfers, data-subject rights, retention, and other applicable requirements. Obtain a fact-specific review.
What should technology diligence cover?
Review ownership and chain of title, employee and contractor assignments, licences, open-source use, patents and brands, trade secrets, grants, export controls, privacy, cybersecurity, commercial contracts, disputes, and regulatory approvals.
