Gaojin Law Firm is a Beijing firm focused on helping European and US companies invest, operate and resolve disputes in China. We exist to make a fast-moving, unfamiliar legal system navigable for teams sitting an ocean away.
We advise foreign investors across the full lifecycle of doing business in China — market entry and structuring, corporate governance, commercial contracts, compliance and data, cross-border M&A, and dispute resolution.
Licensed to practise on 3 August 2018 and based at 7 Jianguomennei Avenue, Dongcheng District, Beijing — on the Chang'an Avenue corridor near China's central regulators and courts — Gaojin is a boutique, founder-led firm built around cross-border work — China-qualified, working in both English and Chinese, so a foreign board and its Chinese counsel can speak directly, without a layer of translation in between.
What sets this practice apart is having sat on both sides of the table — in private practice and in-house as legal counsel to a global multinational, alongside experience at one of China's leading domestic firms. We know not just the law, but how foreign companies actually decide, and the commercial and cross-cultural realities behind a China call.
That's why our advice tends to arrive as a short list of decisions and filings rather than a memo — China's fast-changing rules, translated into clear, practical steps so foreign teams can move with confidence.
Whether you're weighing your first entity or facing a live issue, a short conversation is the best place to start.
