Incorporation of foreign invested company, Dissolution and Liquidation
With respect to incorporation of foreign-invested enterprises in China, attorneys at the office have been engaged in incorporation of several hundred of Sino-Japan equity joint ventures, Sino-Japan cooperative joint ventures and wholly foreign-owned enterprises, as legal counsel for Japanese companies, from the time that they had been working at Oh-Ebashi LPC & Partners in Japan.
Based on the above-described experience, we are now enjoying the trust of our clients for our high quality of legal expertise in terms of incorporation of foreign-invested enterprises in China.
We are able to provide various documents required to incorporate foreign-invested enterprises both in Japanese and Chinese, such as letters of intent, project proposal reports, feasibility study reports, equity joint venture/cooperative joint venture contracts, articles of association, technical license agreements, trademark license agreements, and agreements to dispose of land use right.
Along with the preparation of such documents, we also provide legal advice on various matters including explanation of differences between provisions of Japanese laws and those of Chinese laws, obtaining approvals and/or permission from competent governmental authorities, as well as negotiation with competent governmental authorities. We are also able to cope with on-site negotiation, or directly participate in negotiation with competent governmental authorities. The scope of our service is quite extensive.
Other than legal assistance, we also provide advice from both business and cultural point of view concerning business development in China by Japanese companies.
Except incorporation, we also cope with legal issues concerning entire business operations and management of Japanese companies from incorporation to dissolution and liquidation. Especially in terms of dissolution and liquidation, we are able to provide comprehensive legal assistance through the entire process, including explanation of legal procedures in China, handling of problems with employees, settlement of legal issues upon termination of agreements with customers, negotiation with various competent governmental authorities such as the Shanghai Foreign Economic Relation and Trade Commission, customs office, tax authorities, land control offices, state-owned assets supervision and administration commission, and negotiation with joint venture partners.
We have experienced many cases of dissolution and liquidation on behalf of large Japanese companies. We directly take care of cases in order to prevent unexpected troubles and carry out necessary procedures promptly, which brought strong trust of clients to us.
