When businesses or individuals face sudden criminal exposure—such as dawn raids, executive detentions, or negative media reports—timely legal action can make the difference between containment and escalation. Our crisis response team is equipped to manage fast-moving developments across legal, regulatory, and reputational fronts.
We have extensive experience advising both domestic enterprises and foreign-invested companies in China, often acting as the central legal coordinator when criminal procedures intersect with administrative penalties, securities investigations, internal reviews, or civil litigation. In high-stakes incidents, we work seamlessly with clients’ legal, compliance, and public relations teams to safeguard legal rights, stabilize operations, and restore stakeholder confidence.
For matters involving foreign laws—such as FCPA, anti-money laundering, or international tax enforcement—we collaborate with foreign counsel to coordinate cross-border defense strategies and provide jurisdiction-specific advice in China. From first response to post-crisis recovery, our focus is on legal clarity, reputational protection, and sustainable outcomes.
