The Legal Working Group
The Legal Working Group consists of lawyers from Europe-based law firms registered with the Ministry of Justice (MOJ), European lawyers practicing in China and in-house counsels for European corporate entities with a presence in China. Its aim is to mobilize the legal community with a view toward promoting greater legal transparency and awareness of legal developments, which are key factors affecting foreign investment in China. Legal experts also use the Working Group as a forum to exchange information and know-how across various industries.
