Andersen’s China Desk is a multidisciplinary and bilingual team specialized in providing legal and tax advice to Chinese companies and investors operating in Iberia, as well as supporting Iberian companies in their business activities and expansion into mainland China (including Hong Kong and Macau) and Taiwan.
The team is composed of European and Chinese partners and professionals from different practice areas and offices of the firm, combining deep knowledge of the Chinese and Iberian markets, legal systems, and business cultures. This integrated approach enables us to effectively manage cross-border transactions and bridge legal, linguistic, and cultural gaps between jurisdictions.
We provide comprehensive legal support to companies and private clients across all areas of business law, including corporate structuring, tax planning, employment matters, real estate investments, intellectual and industrial property, and dispute resolution. Our team also assists clients in navigating regulatory frameworks, ensuring full compliance with local requirements and market practices.
Andersen supports foreign investors in establishing and developing their presence in Iberia, including the incorporation of subsidiaries, structuring of investments, and identification of business opportunities. We also advise private clients on immigration and residency matters, including residence permits for investment (Golden Visa programs), as well as nationality applications and cross-border family and succession planning.
The China Desk acts as a strategic partner for clients, offering tailored advice throughout the entire investment lifecycle, from market entry to expansion and dispute resolution, ensuring that business operations are aligned with local regulations while overcoming legal, regulatory, and cultural complexities.
