DaHui Lawyers

DaHui combines in-depth knowledge of China’s legal and business landscape with extensive international experience, enabling it to assist multinational companies across some of the most highly regulated and rapidly changing areas of China’s challenging market. In particular as a pre-eminent PRC law firm in China’s FinTech sectors, DaHui has deep experience handling some of the most cutting-edge matters at the intersection of technology, law and finance. The firm’s exposure, through client work and special projects, to major PRC regulators help it to remain up-to-date on the latest policy changes and quickly resolve issues arising in clients’ business operations. The team provides clients in these strategic industries with effective and solution-oriented services tailored to their diversified business needs, often against the backdrop of a fluid and volatile regulatory environment.

DaHui routinely assists domestic and international clients in navigating China’s rigid payment license regime, empowering clients to retain unparalleled independence and control in structuring their payment solutions in the China market. DaHui has advised some of the first international companies seeking third-party payment (TPP) licenses in China, and the firm's payments practice extends beyond traditional companies in the technology sector, opening up various online sales and e-commerce solutions to enterprises of all shapes and sizes.

DaHui also has robust expertise in dynamic and cutting-edge sectors such as blockchain and cryptocurrencies (including crypto exchanges), necessarily based more on in-depth understanding of Chinese regulatory attitudes and how the regulators will approach different aspects of the same underlying technology, as well as a global vision on the regulatory landscape applicable to these frontier technologies in other jurisdictions.
