About

Provided by King & Wood

We have extensive experience in advising on international trade and investment disputes

King & Wood is one of the first law firms in China to provide legal services in international trade matters. In 1997, we represented clients in the country’s first anti-dumping investigation. We can assist you in trade remedy investigations, WTO dispute settlement proceedings, trade negotiations, customs measures, and import/export matters.

We have a thorough knowledge of the Chinese legal system and the covered agreements of the World Trade Organization, and we use this to offer a range of international trade legal services to both government agencies and companies. We have represented and assisted the Chinese Government in its WTO disputes and treaty negotiation ever since China’s accession to the WTO. We also assist clients in the private sector at home and abroad in trade remedy cases, customs and general trade matters. Our lawyers have been repeatedly ranked Band 1 in the field of international trade/WTO by Chambers Asia Pacific, one of the most authoritative legal directories.
