Our lawyers in Hong Kong work closely with our teams in Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo and other worldwide offices to provide a full range of legal services that help global organizations navigate Asia's complex legal and business environments.

China occupies a prominent place in the strategic goals of many of Paul Hastings’ largest institutional clients. Along with an expert knowledge of local law, successful business relationships in China require timely knowledge and understanding of a complex and evolving environment. Within our locations in China and Japan, our dedicated Korean team represents global companies and investment banks in Korea-based transactions.

The Hong Kong office offers a wide range of resources within China, enabling our clients to find realistic solutions for Corporate business matters including foreign direct investment, mergers and acquisitions, banking, corporate finance, project development and finance, non-performing loans, insurance, intellectual property law, infrastructure, distribution and retail, international trade, and alternative dispute resolution. Additionally, our Employment Law and Real Estate groups handle a full spectrum of matters, from labor law advice to resort and hotel development.
