Our Asia International Trade practice, which sits within our global Competition, Trade and Foreign Investment group, is highly regarded by clients due to the breadth and depth of our experience advising multinational companies with operations East-West on a full range of trade related issues, ranging from sanctions, import controls, export controls, customs issues and trade remedies. We have cross-sector expertise and a strong track-record of advising clients on alleged or potential violations, managing investigations and voluntary self-disclosures, with authorities taking no enforcement action against our clients in most circumstances.
We offer on the ground advice on international trade matters through subject matter experts located in Hong Kong and Greater China, as well as access to an extensive international network which includes trade specialists in the European Union (EU), the United Kingdom (UK), the United States (US) and Africa.
