While the so-called “Trade War” between the U.S. and China has captured considerable attention in the last several years, the U.S. legal system has been the front line of a variety of disputes involving Chinese companies long before the “Trade War” began, and will be long after any new trade agreement goes into effect. Chinese companies seeking to enter the U.S. market face a variety of legal and regulatory obstacles. Successful companies will understand how to address these challenges when bringing new products and services to market. Companies that have entered the U.S. market without fully understanding these risks have faced substantial financial and reputational losses. Sophisticated Chinese companies are now seizing the opportunity to utilize the U.S. legal system to their benefit. While intellectual property remains one of the main challenges, product liability and data privacy are increasing concerns for Chinese enterprises. Perkins Coie partner presented a seminar on these issues and experiences with helping Chinese clients achieving business goals in the United States.
