Mission Statement

The Legal & Compliance Committee provides a forum for members of the British Chamber of Commerce Shanghai to discuss new legal, regulatory and compliance developments in the PRC and UK. We cover a wide range of areas of PRC/ UK related legal and regulatory issues (such as foreign direct investment law, company law, intellectual property law, employment law, M&A, competition law, international arbitration, banking and finance, etc.), together with applied and business-friendly approaches to understanding and navigating corruption, regulatory enforcement and other risks arising from the ever-growing scope of compliance-related rules and practices in these jurisdictions.

The Committee holds a range of events including seminars, panel discussions and networking activities, combined with other British Chamber committees in both Shanghai and Beijing. These contain presentations and other sharing sessions led by members, with prominent industry figures and officials also invited to attend.

The Committee comprises legal and compliance professionals, including lawyers, in-house counsel, risk advisors and consultants. We aim to develop a network of people interested in the legal, regulatory and compliance industry in China to share expertise and best practice regarding specific legislation, regulation and practical issues when investing and undertaking business in and from China.
