Our Client Relationships are Everything.

Our client relationships set us apart. The following three rules guide us on every matter and constitute the essence of our firm:

• Everything we do is in the context of a long-term relationship. Our goal is always the thoughtful furtherance of our client's overall business objectives. What we are doing for a client at any one time, however important, is just one component of an alliance stretching far into the future.
• Effective client relationships require absolute trust. We strive to ensure that our client relationships are great from day one. We want to become more than just another service provider; we want you to think of us as an extension of your business.
• Only excellence is good enough. Hold us accountable. We want that.

Respected by our Peers.

Martindale Hubbell, the preeminent lawyer rating guide, gives us its highest "AV" rating, as determined by prominent lawyers and judges. Our two lead international attorneys both scored perfect 10.0 ratings on Avvo, and our China Law Blog has garnered many prestigious awards and is consistently among the top five most-read English language law blogs.

Tellingly, most of our new work comes from client referrals or from other law firms.

The Media Look to Us for Our Legal Expertise.

Leading national and international media, including The Wall Street Journal, The International Herald Tribune, Forbes, Business Week, Investor's Business Daily, The New York Times, The National Law Journal, The Washington Post, PBS News Hour (Jim Lehrer), The Washington Times, LexisNexis, China Daily, China Economic Review, China International Business Magazine, The Christian Science Monitor, National Public Radio (npr), and CCTV (China Central Television), have all come to us for our international law expertise.

Our Domestic and International Connections Are Our Strength.

Two leading German international lawyer groups, Advoselect and DASV, chose us as their US/China representative. A leading Spain-based international lawyer group selected us to write a section of their international law book.

Our close relationships with a worldwide network of consultants, experts, and local legal counsel enable us to handle legal matters worldwide.
