Practice Areas

Every legal service a foreign company needs in China

From entity formation to dispute resolution — one bilingual team, end to end.

Why us

Why foreign companies choose us

Bilingual by design

Every engagement is run in English and Chinese — contracts, advice, court filings. Nothing is lost in translation because nothing needs translating.

Built for enforcement

We draft contracts and choose forums based on where your counterparty's assets are — so a win on paper becomes money in the bank.

Fixed fees, no surprises

Company formation, contract packages and trademark filings are quoted as fixed fees, agreed before work begins.

Trusted by foreign companies worldwide

What clients say

“Atlas reviewed our supplier contract two days before we wired a six-figure deposit and found the beneficiary account didn't match the company. They likely saved the entire order.”
Operations Director — US consumer electronics brand
“Our WFOE was registered, banked and hiring in under seven weeks. Every step was explained in plain English with fixed fees agreed upfront.”
Founder — German industrial automation company
“Sarah's team froze the supplier's accounts within days of filing. We recovered 85% of our claim in a settlement that would never have happened otherwise.”
General Counsel — Australian importer
“They filed our trademarks in China before our first factory visit. Six months later a squatter tried to register our brand — and failed because we were first.”
CEO — UK outdoor equipment brand
“We expected the customs disclosure to end in a painful penalty. Instead we paid what we owed, kept our AEO application on track, and finally understood our own royalty declarations.”
Logistics Manager — Japanese auto parts group
“The arbitration felt hopeless from Brazil — the machines were here, the manufacturer was there. Atlas built the evidence, won the award and then actually collected it. That last part is what other firms never promised.”
Managing Director — Brazilian packaging machinery buyer
“Closing a production line with 76 people felt like walking into a minefield. Their team mapped every step, sat with our employees through the signings, and not one claim followed. Worth every fen.”
HR Director — UK electronics manufacturer
“After ten years stuck in a joint venture we could neither run nor leave, they got our partner out in seven months without a single court filing. We should have called them five years earlier.”
Chief Financial Officer — US industrial coatings group

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer a free initial consultation?

Yes — a 30-minute call to understand your situation and tell you honestly whether and how we can help. If we can't, we'll point you to someone who can.

Can you work with clients outside China?

Most of our clients are overseas. We work across time zones by video, email and WeChat/WhatsApp, and can execute documents in China on your behalf under power of attorney.

How are your fees structured?

Defined-scope work (entity formation, contract drafting, trademark filing) is fixed-fee. Disputes are typically staged fees with success elements where rules permit. You will always have a written quote before we start.
