-
Cultural Intelligence That Closes Deals
- Native-level Mandarin fluency and deep understanding of Asian business practices means fewer misunderstandings, stronger negotiations, and partnerships that actually work.
-
Strategic Positioning in Disputes

-
Structurally Sound Transactions

U.S.–China Business Matters
China isn't just another market—it's a different legal, regulatory, and business ecosystem. Mr. London's combination of legal training at Tsinghua University and years of cross-border deal experience means he sees risks others miss:
- Navigating Chinese regulatory requirements and government relations
- Protecting IP and trade secrets in high-risk jurisdictions

- Cross-border supply chain and manufacturing agreements
When your counterparty speaks Mandarin, so should your lawyer.
