De Wolf & Partners was the first Belgian law firm to be officially registered as foreign firm in China.

Today, our office in Shanghai bolsters a team of about 15 lawyers, both Chinese and foreign, ranking it within the top 10 European law firms in China.  The team is lead by our resident-partner Philippe Snel who has been working and living in China since 2004. 

Our offer in China stands at a crossroads of that of larger international law firms and of domestic firms. This allows us to offer flexible boutique services and tailor-made solutions to our clients whether they are stock-listed companies establishing several production facilities in different locations in China or SME’s requiring advice to correctly understand the opportunity of a possible joint venture with a Chinese partner.

Our services are perfectly aligned with the needs of our clients in China, whether it is solving trade disputes or setting-up new business in China or even conducting a complex acquisition.  Because we too work and do buisiness in China, we truly understand your concerns and your needs.  Morover, owing to our well wintered experience, we know which solutions usually work and which never do. 

Our Shanghai office provides guidance and assistance in most matters related to your Chinese business including corporate law, commercial law, employement law, contract law, intellectual property law, anti-trust law, tax, dispute resolution and arbitration.  We are experienced across most industries and are able to serve you in English, French, Dutch, German, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hebrew and Portuguese.
