Retained Legal Counsel

Your outside general counsel — on call, without the headcount.

Overview

Many international businesses in China need legal support on a day-to-day basis, but not enough to justify a full-time in-house hire. Our retained counsel service fills that gap.

As your outside general counsel, we handle daily legal advisory, contract review, corporate governance, compliance audits, labour matters, crisis management, and negotiation support. You get a named partner as your single point of contact, with 24-hour response on routine queries.

We do not just react to problems — we proactively identify risks through scheduled legal audits, keeping your business ahead of regulatory changes and contractual pitfalls.
