Liuhe was one of the earliest law firms in Zhejiang Province to establish overseas offices and develop stable, close collaborations with foreign law firms, thereby advancing its international investment legal services. Through years of growth and development, the firm’s professionalism and service quality have earned recognition from both the market and peers. Liuhe’s international investment lawyers play significant roles in large and high-profile international investment projects across the region, and they hold key positions, such as chairpersons, in the International Investment Committees of both the Hangzhou and Zhejiang Lawyers Associations.
Our International Investment Group is composed of lawyers with exceptional credentials, including overseas study, internships, work experience, and in some cases, foreign practice qualifications. These lawyers not only have an in-depth understanding of both domestic and foreign legal frameworks in major investment destinations, but they are also well-versed in the business practices and cultural nuances of these jurisdictions. Coupled with Liuhe’s extensive global network, this expertise enables our team to seamlessly address the diverse needs of international investment clients.
Liuhe’s international investment lawyers provide comprehensive legal and related services to Chinese clients seeking to "go global." From the initial feasibility study to the final implementation of the investment, we assist at every stage:
Feasibility Research: Offering valuable advice from the earliest stages of internal feasibility studies for international investments.
Investment Structuring: Designing optimal investment plans, taking into account both jurisdictions’ legal frameworks, regulatory requirements, tax planning, and incentive policies. In most cases, our lawyers collaborate with the client’s other departments to create a detailed investment timeline.
Drafting and Reviewing Documents: Assisting clients with drafting, reviewing, and revising various investment and transaction documents.
Regulatory Compliance: Facilitating the completion of domestic and foreign regulatory procedures required for the establishment and operation of international investments.
Incentive Policies: Assisting clients in understanding and obtaining local support or incentive policies in the investment destination.
Collaborations with Local Professionals: Working closely with local lawyers, accountants, and tax advisors to ensure the investment is smoothly implemented and achieves the intended goals.
Profit Repatriation and Asset Management: Assisting clients with the repatriation of profits, intellectual property, and other assets back to China or for further overseas disposition.
Liuhe’s expertise extends to assisting foreign clients seeking to invest in China. Beyond basic Chinese law consultations, we provide comprehensive support in areas such as:
Local Incentives: Securing local support or preferential policies.
Investment Strategy and Tax Planning: Designing investment strategies, pathways, and timelines while coordinating with tax planning to maximize returns.
Government Relations: Establishing strong communication channels with local governments and regulatory bodies.
Supply Chain and Financing: Offering recommendations for upstream and downstream suppliers and exploring domestic financing and growth opportunities.

Upholding our guiding principle of "not just being legal experts but also industry specialists," our international investment lawyers combine legal expertise with commercial, tax, political, and environmental considerations. By doing so, we aim to deliver not only legal advice but comprehensive and high-quality solutions that meet our clients’ business needs.
