Shanghai

Shanghai is China's commercial, financial and shipping centre, and a key gateway connecting the Chinese and global economies. For more than two decades, Baker McKenzie's Shanghai Representative Office has helped clients seize opportunities, drive transformation and expand internationally.

Our Shanghai team advises multinational corporations, investors, financial institutions and Chinese enterprises on mergers and acquisitions, foreign direct investment, capital markets, financing transactions, corporate restructurings, regulatory matters and international expansion projects. We are particularly recognised for supporting clients on complex cross-border transactions and strategic investments throughout Asia Pacific and beyond.

Shanghai is also home to the Baker McKenzie FenXun Joint Operation. Leveraging the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone, Shanghai's innovative business environment and our global network, we combine international and PRC legal capabilities to provide coordinated and integrated legal services.
