The second webinar in this series will be about if setting up a business in China is easy. What is the right structure for your business in China? How long does it take to set up a business? How much do I need to invest?
Traditionally the focus has been on joint ventures, WFOEs and representative offices, but what has changed over the years and what is all the fuss about the new ‘Foreign Investment Law’?
China: The Art of Law
Chronicling Deals, Disasters, Greed, Stupidity, and Occasional Success in China
15 years after writing ‘China: The Art of Law’, Mark Schaub takes us through important legal and business issues for companies doing business with or in China. The webinars aim to be heavy on light-hearted content, war stories and useful insights … not your normal legal webinar. We will also have guests who will share their insights and experiences and who we will mock. The overriding question is to consider how China changed; how to be successful and did Schaub learn anything after working as a lawyer in China for 26 years?
During each webinar, we encourage you to ask questions related to the topic and engage in what we hope to be a meaningful discussion.
