China Desk

Strong economic ties between China and ASEAN have presented significant opportunities for businesses seeking to capitalize on the vibrant markets of both regions. As trade volumes surge and investment flows increase, navigating the legal landscape becomes paramount for ensuring smooth operations and compliance.

Connecting ASEAN and China with Strategic Legal Support

The establishment of our dedicated China Desk is designed to meet the unique legal needs of clients engaged in business and transactions involving China.  Our clients include multinational corporations across ASEAN countries such as Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia expanding into the Chinese market, Chinese businesses investing overseas, professional intermediaries, private clients and high net worth individuals requiring legal counsel on matters involving China.

The China Desk is led by Gerard Quek.
