Garrigues has been advising its clients on operations in China since the nineteen nineties. In 2005, it became the first Spanish law firm to obtain a permit from the Chinese Ministry of Justice to set up an office in Shanghai. In 2015, ten years later, it is now opening its Beijing office, becoming the first Spanish firm to have two offices in operation in the People’s Republic of China.

Our extensive experience in the Chinese legal market enables us to meet our clients’ needs through ongoing advisory services of the highest quality, offering real added value and innovative technical solutions.

Garrigues also features prominently in Chinese legal and academic circles, through the Garrigues Foundation, and through collaboration agreements entered into with the most prestigious Chinese universities, the China Law Society and the All China Lawyers Association.

From its offices in Beijing and Shanghai, Garrigues provides integral advisory services in relation to investments in China, covering all aspects.
