Stay ahead of every rule change

Compliance in Asia isn’t optional, and it doesn’t stand still.

Our in-market experts monitor shifts in policy and regulation in real time, so your business won’t get blindsided. Whether it’s filings, audits, or red tape you didn’t know existed, we make sure you’re always a step ahead.

Areas we support

ICP Licensing

Operating a website in China? To operate legally in China, your website needs an Internet Content Provider (ICP) licence. Without one, your site could be blocked. Because foreign businesses can’t apply directly, we act as your local proxy and handle the full application and compliance process.

Legal Entity Setup

China’s legal landscape is anything but straightforward. Our in-market legal team helps you understand what filings are required, what to expect from regulators, and how to stay compliant without wasting time or resources.

Ongoing Compliance

Whether you’re managing a fund or operating a brand, we ensure your business complies with the specific laws in your industry and region. We track updates from regulators and make sure you’re covered before issues arise.

Trademark Protection

In China, the first to register a trademark owns it. That means someone else can legally register your brand if you don’t act fast. We file directly with the China Trademark Office to protect your name before someone else does.

IP Infringement Support

Fake products. Stolen logos. Knockoff storefronts.

Our consultants help you detect, respond to, and remove copyright and trademark infringement in China’s online and offline markets.
