Doing business in China

 
As a global international financial centre, the UK is a popular destination for investors from China, with direct investment increasing rapidly. There are many advantages to investing in the UK for Chinese businesses, such as:

  • the established and transparent stock exchanges, in particular, the London Stock Exchange which is one of the foremost stock exchanges internationally;

 
 
However there is still a perception that it is difficult for Chinese investors and businesses to enter the UK markets, which is usually due to lack of professional advice and contacts within the UK.

At City Law Financial LLP we are aware of the problems that may exist and have the appropriate expertise to help to overcome them. We can give bespoke legal advice as well as introduce potential investors to UK experts within the chosen sector. We also have native Mandarin speakers to make communications easier and which will facilitate entry into the UK markets.
