Today’s economy is global. That’s why Hodgson Russ provides experienced U.S. legal representation both for Asia-based clients with business dealings in the United States, and for domestic clients with business in Asian countries.

Attorneys in our Asia Practice Group have extensive knowledge of the cultural and legal systems that affect business in Asia, with a special emphasis in the Chinese market. We understand that the needs of Asia-based clients may differ from U.S.-based clients, allowing us to provide cost-effective, quality representation for all of our clients.

We have extensive experience counseling Asia-based businesses in connection with raising capital and listing in the United States.

Our Asia-based clients span numerous industry sectors, including agriculture, alternative fuel technology, automobile, biotechnology, direct marketing, entertainment, food and beverage, health care, high-technology and Internet service, media and new media, oil and gas, natural resource and mining, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, precious metal, telecommunication, traditional manufacturing, wholesale and retail, computer, real estate, and consumer products. We also counsel U.S.-based clients on the legal issues involved with entering and developing new markets for their goods and services in Asia.
