Foreign Direct Investment (FDI): securing your projects
Foreign direct investment (FDI) is subject to specific legal regimes in China and Vietnam, which are often volatile. Our lawyers assist you in structuring and securing your FDI transactions in China and Southeast Asia:
- Legal and regulatory feasibility studies to verify that the planned activity is indeed open to FDI under local regulations, either under an encouraged or common law regime, or in a restricted manner (most often the requirement of a local partner leading to the creation of a Joint Venture)
Regarding the creation of the structure itself: this step requires a perfect understanding of local legislation and administrative practices. Cabinet Loubier assists you in the ex-nihilo constitution of companies in Asia, ensuring legal compliance at each stage:
- Choice of the appropriate structure (WOFE, Joint Venture, branch, representative office)
- Drafting of statutes in French or English and Chinese (or Vietnamese)
- Registration with local authorities
- Accounting, tax and social compliance
We regularly work on projects to establish businesses in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Vietnam, working closely with our local partners. We also assist Asian investors seeking to establish a presence in France through cross-border operations.
Company acquisition: audits, negotiation and drafting of documents
Whether you are considering the acquisition of a local business or a strategic stake, Cabinet Loubier supports you every step of the way:
