China is currently one of the world's most rapidly growing markets. Trade with Scandinavia and the rest of Europe is increasing at an explosive rate. Vinge opened its office in Hong Kong as early as 1985 and in 1999, the firm became the first Scandinavian law firm to obtain a licence to open an office also in Shanghai.
Thanks to its great experience, local presence, and familiarity with local conditions, Vinge's China Desk is able to offer invaluable assistance. Not only as legal advisors, but also as a cultural bridge-builder and negotiators. Vinge's primary practice areas in China include the structuring and establishment of foreign (primarily Scandinavian) direct investments, the restructuring of existing investments, general commercial law, and intellectual property law. Intellectual property protection in China is an area which currently poses many problems that cannot usually be solved using traditional legal methods but, instead, require an element of creativity in order to find feasible legal solutions.
