It also assists French businesses whose operations or partnerships involve China. Its work includes company formation and corporate governance, shareholding arrangements, mergers and acquisitions, business transfers, group structuring, commercial contracts and cross-border transactions.
The team also assists with shareholder and commercial disputes, working towards resolution through negotiation, mediation or litigation, as appropriate to the matter. It advises investors, executives, employees and their families on international mobility matters, including options for working, setting up a business or residing in France, and supports clients with application preparation and follow-up.
Yanchao WU’s experience in corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, and cross-border investment complements Hugo Winckler’s practice in commercial law, business litigation, real estate, business transfers and mediation. Together, they provide legal support that takes into account the legal and practical aspects of cross-border projects. The scope of assistance is tailored to the facts and needs of each matter.
