We assist clients throughout the lifecycle of private fund manager establishment and operation, helping them meet the registration and compliance requirements of the Asset Management Association of China (AMAC) and other regulators. Our services cover domestic and cross-border structures, governance design, internal policies, and regulatory communications.
Manager Type Selection and Structuring
We help clients determine the appropriate fund manager type—private equity, venture capital, securities, or FOF—based on their business plans and investment focus. We also provide tailored advice on governance structures, equity arrangements, and alignment between onshore and offshore frameworks.
Governing Documents and Internal Control Systems
We draft and review key legal documents—such as articles of association, shareholder agreements, and partnership deeds—to ensure alignment with both regulatory requirements and commercial objectives. We also assist clients in designing and improving core governance mechanisms, such as internal control systems, risk management policies, investment decision procedures, employee stock ownership plans, carried interest allocation, and co-investment schemes, to support long-term, stable fund governance.
Manager Formation and AMAC Registration
We assist clients in business registration, tax registration, and social insurance setup, and prepare full application packages for AMAC registration, including legal due diligence, opinion letters, and internal compliance policies. We also guide clients through the AMAC submission process and, where necessary, engage with the regulator on their behalf to facilitate approval.
Cross-Border Manager Setup
For clients establishing offshore fund managers as part of their cross-border investment structures, we provide comprehensive legal support covering entity structuring, legal documentation, and regulatory compliance.
Ongoing Operational Compliance
We offer daily compliance advisory covering disclosure, conflict management, record updates, policy revisions, and incentive arrangements, supporting a governance framework that evolves with regulatory expectations.
Special Matters and Regulatory Events
We provide legal support on material changes including shareholder transfers, senior personnel changes, mergers, and business scope expansion, ensuring that such events are properly documented and reported.
