Cadwalader recently hosted a roundtable discussion at its New York office on some of the most pressing litigation and compliance considerations facing Chinese technology companies and asset management firms operating in the United States.
Cadwalader partners Pearl Xiang Yuan-Garg, Jason Halper, Joel Mitnick, Steven Lofchie, Mark Chorazak, Chris Hughes and Todd Blanche led the discussion and responded to questions from the participating senior executives that reflect a range of critical and often complex issues. Topics discussed included:
Regarding all these topics, the partners shared their unique perspectives and guidance, as partly informed by their prior work with Chinese clients that helped underscore not only the legal and regulatory differences between the two countries but also the cultural ones.
“This event demonstrated a sense of urgency felt by the U.S.-based representatives of Chinese companies on the need to successfully navigate the U.S. litigation and compliance landscape as they expand their businesses globally,” said Yuan-Garg.
“In particular, as corporate leaders increasingly rely on intellectual property solutions for their growth, they will need forward-looking compliance plans and systems to underpin their strategies,” she added.
