China Practice

Chambers & Company has an extensive history of excellence in providing a full range of services for projects with the People’s Republic of China.

In the China context, the experience available to clients have been developed over a period of more than 31 years of working with China and which pre-dated the establishment of the firm.

Our firm’s China history can be traced back to 1981, shortly after China introduced its open door policy in 1979 to open China to foreign investment using its new joint venture law as the legal structure.

Through our involvement in key foreign investment deals into and out of China, Chambers & Company has built up a unique network of contacts at the most senior levels of Chinese ministries and corporations. This has facilitated our clients’ negotiations and approval processes for their investments in China.

We also have unique expertise on China-Australia projects having facilitated numerous successful investments in projects for our Chinese State-Owned Enterprises and private corporation clients in Australia.

In Australia, Chambers & Company has acted for many of the leading Chinese state owned enterprises as well as other governmental ministries and agencies on a number of major investments in the resources (mining and energy), property, manufacturing and travel industries since 1984.

In China, we have acted successfully for Australian Government agencies as well as international corporations on projects for resources, mining, chemical, engineering and construction, manufacturing, food processing as well as trading transactions.
