CMS has extensive experience in advising Chinese companies on outbound investments, such as mergers and acquisitions (M&A), the establishment of a joint venture or setting up a subsidiary overseas. We are in particular familiar with all regulatory aspects of outbound investments, including the filing and approval requirements and the investment control in foreign jurisdictions.

Many of our experts frequently work with Chinese clients and are familiar with both Chinese and local business cultures. Some of them are fluent in Mandarin. They can therefore bridge cultural and language gaps and help to build up trust between our Chinese client and the local seller, partner or authority – which is essential for a successful investment. 

Here in China, we support you in your time zone and in your language. We offer you a single point of contact in your home country. Your trusted CMS experts will coordinate all legal advice across the involved jurisdictions and make sure that you will get consistent high quality advice for all aspects of your investment.

For support for your China outbound business, please contact us via the online form, email or telephone.
