Firm Profile
One of the first five foreign law firms granted a licence in Beijing in 1992, Hogan Lovells Beijing office is now one of the largest of all Beijing-based international law firms. With five partners and over 35 lawyers, we provide our local and international clients with a full service offering in relation to both outbound and inbound transactions.
Independent market surveys regularly highlight our capability, pedigree, and excellent reputation. We are the only international law firm able to assist clients in most major cities in China through our membership of the Sino-Global Legal Alliance (SGLA), a selected group of leading Chinese law firms located in 13 cities across the country. Additionally, Hogan Lovells has an established relationship with many government agencies including the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) and the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM).
We advise companies of all sizes and in virtually all industries across the life cycle of IP assets, from development to commercialization and licensing through to maturity. We also have a deep understanding of and advise on a broad range of issues in closely related areas such as e-commerce, data protection, IT contracts, and all types of media work.
We handle IP litigation in U.S. and European courts, the International Trade Commission, and other forums throughout the world: and handle the IP and technology law aspects of major corporate and commercial transactions.
Many of our lawyers have scientific backgrounds and hold advanced degrees in electrical and mechanical engineering, biochemistry, computer science, or physics, helping us to fully understand the scientific principles underlying products and processes. With our worldwide footprint and broad knowledge, we stand ready to address your intellectual property issues wherever they arise.
