We assist clients in navigating registration and approval procedures across relevant authorities, including stock exchanges, the interbank market, the CSRC, NDRC, SAFE, and local governments.

Debt Protection and Credit Enhancement

We help clients build effective debt protection mechanisms—such as collateral arrangements and cross-default clauses—and structure credit enhancement features, including guarantees, credit ratings, and third-party support, to strengthen investor confidence and improve bond pricing.

Issuance Execution and Legal Opinions

We provide legal witnessing services and issue legal opinions that meet regulatory requirements, while also assisting in addressing inquiries from regulators during the issuance process.
