As the Chinese economy has been growing and developing dramatically, new rules and regulations in China are constantly being enacted while existing ones are similarly being revised, improved and unified. Thus, attaining an understanding of the numerous complex laws and regulations is one of the most difficult barriers for a foreign company before (and even after) it starts and develops business with/in China.
Solving various legal issues, protecting legitimate rights and interests, and minimizing potential legal risks in China which has a completely different and very unfamiliar legal system, is a big challenge for majority foreign businesses. In this context, foreign businesses require high quality, full service, and efficient professional legal services to help them to protect their rights and prevent any potential legal risks, as well as to maximize commercial benefits. This was the main goal and initiative of Wenli Xie, the founder of LCSH and a qualified Chinese lawyer, to start her entrepreneurship journey in the UK, with her strong professional background in legal and commercial affairs relating to China.
Since LCSH was founded in 2016, the company has been providing dynamic UK and US companies in different sizes with a comprehensive range of Chinese law supports, as well as some relevant business support.
