What the Team is Known For

Freshfields has a highly respected practice noted for the depth of its experience in international competition and antitrust work. The firm offers considerable capabilities in both Hong Kong and Mainland China, and is recognised for its ability in compliance and enforcement advice and active in investigations, where it regularly interacts with Chinese regulators. Its client roster includes multinational companies from various sectors including automotive, aviation, healthcare, TMT and energy and natural resources. The practice is well placed to advise on merger control filings in multiple jurisdictions arising from large acquisitions. In particular, the team's China-facing practice is enhanced by close integration with its joint operation in RuiMin Law Firm.
