China Practice

Where others see borders, Archer’s China Practice Group sees opportunities. We get things done for our clients effectively and efficiently, based on our deep understanding of and respect for the subtle differences between the Asian and Western business cultures.

Archer’s China Practice Group was established to assist Chinese entrepreneurs and companies with legal needs in China and the United States. Our clients are leading companies that span across multiple industries, including alternative energy, petroleum, pharmaceutical, life sciences, manufacturing, retail, consumer goods, transportation, financial, real estate, and agriculture.

The attorneys in our group understand the law, legal system, and business environment of China and the culture that drives it. They are fluent in Mandarin, having previously lived and worked in China for over a decade. Their legal and business experience in China and the United States affords our clients unique resources in order to navigate both markets in many areas of the law.
