Gowlings’ long-standing commitment to China began in 1985 when we became the first international law firm to file a patent application in the country. Since then, China has continued to grow at a dynamic and rapid pace, steadily expanding its influence in key markets and economies around the world. Our commitment to China has been rewarded through deep relationships with key companies and associations, and within key industries.
 China’s investment interests span multiple countries and geographies. As a global law firm with nine offices across three countries, Gowlings has a proven ability to meet China’s expanding needs. Our China team is composed of more than 70 professionals; including several who are fluent in Mandarin or Cantonese.
Gowlings is well positioned through its Canadian, London and Moscow offices to help Chinese companies and individuals invest and do business in Canada and other markets. Gowlings’ multidisciplinary team can provide strategic legal advice to Chinese clients pursuing investment opportunities in Canada, Europe, Africa, the Middle East as well as Russia and the CIS.
