Guantao’s Shenzhen office continues to provide cross-border legal services to a Chinese manufacturer with a significant industry presence, supporting compliance for its factory project and subsequent operations in Vietnam.
Dandan Fei, a partner at Guantao’s Shenzhen office, leads the legal project. She brings together a team across practice areas, coordinates overall delivery and the review of key risks, and supports management decision-making.
Legal support throughout the project
Cross-border investment and operations involve differences in legal requirements, approval and enforcement practices, and dispute-resolution mechanisms. To address the client’s need for both regulatory certainty and commercial efficiency, Guantao developed a support framework covering investment entry, project implementation, ongoing operations and risk response.
During investment entry and implementation, the team maps the steps and risk controls for establishment and construction, advises on the project structure and key transaction arrangements, and reviews agreements. Standard contract templates, contract governance and risk-control procedures translate compliance requirements into documents and working processes.
During ongoing operations, the team provides risk-management support for recurring business activities. When issues arise, it helps develop response plans and dispute-resolution strategies, coordinating local counsel on procedural work where needed.
Coordinating responsibilities across jurisdictions
Licensed Vietnamese lawyers provide Vietnamese legal opinions and support on local procedural matters. Guantao reviews key transaction arrangements, contractual documents and risks as part of overall project delivery, coordinating the work across jurisdictions to meet the needs of project implementation and business operations.
Guantao continues to expand its international practice and service network. Its work for Chinese businesses operating overseas spans investment and establishment, transaction structuring, contract and compliance systems, employment, supply chains, capital markets and dispute resolution, supporting both overseas investment and continuing operations.
