Shanghai Puruo Law Offices

International legal services have been the core practice area of Shanghai Puruo Law Offices since its establishment in 2003. Most of our attorneys graduated from top law schools either at home or abroad and many were ex-judges, the experiences from both sides of the courtroom gives them a unique perspective to handle the cases. We are dedicated to comprehensive legal services for our clients both domestic and from abroad.

Dispute resolution has always been one of our core competences. We represent clients in litigation and arbitration proceedings involving various types of disputes. We are qualified to practice in courts of all levels in China and also able to appear before arbitration institutions or tribunals both inside and outside of China as counsels.

We tailor quality services to overseas clients investing in China, including assessment of investment environments, feasibility study of investment projects, due diligence investigations, business incorporation, legal service for merger and acquisition of Chinese businesses, follow-up virtual general counsel services to project companies and dissolution & liquidation etc.

Whereas it is definitely much costly for most foreign small and medium-sized enterprises to maintain a representative office or a branch in China, such as human capital, renting cost and travel expense etc., we are committed to “representative” services with economical fee structure for those intending to explore business opportunities in China.

We advise clients on legal issues relating to patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret and unfair competition in a wide range of industries such as telecommunications, electronics, software, semiconductors, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, media and traditional industries. In addition to regular IP practice for clients’ business transactions and daily operations and management, we also help clients enforce IP rights through China’s judicial and administrative systems.

Our labor and employment law team mainly focused on China labor and employment law practice. We specialize in assisting clients in negotiation, arbitration/litigation, dealing with complicated and emergent situations or crisis and collective bargaining with trade unions or employee representatives. We have received a high degree of recognition and respect due to our long-time commitment for labor and employment law practice.

Most of our family and divorce attorneys graduated from top law schools either at home or abroad and many were ex-judges, the experiences from both sides of the courtroom gives them a unique perspective to handle the cases. Our team pride themselves on offering professional family law services to individuals, often high net worth ones. Our clients benefit from legal advice that is based on experience, in-depth understanding, up-to-date legal knowledge and integrity.

Few legal matters carry higher stakes than criminal charges. Particularly, China has developed a unique criminal legal system in the past decades. Criminal legal issues should not be ignored.

Our dedicated criminal defense team has a long track record of successfully defending clients against charges of corporate crime and other economic crime. Our lawyers bring backgrounds in criminology, police work, prosecution and other aspects of criminal law to bear in defending our clients’ interests.
