Morrison & Foerster's China Technology Transactions Group is recognized as perhaps the pre-eminent TMT practice in the People’s
Republic of China and Hong Kong. The group advises a diverse range of Asian, European, and US clients in the technology, financial
services, life sciences, internet, software, telecommunications, and media industries on a wide spectrum of TMTrelated matters.
Our lawyers have particular expertise in:
- cross-border sourcing and services agreements (including traditional IT outsourcing projects and business process outsourcing);
- technology licensing;
- contract manufacturing and logistics agreements;
- research, development, and technology transfer arrangements;
- reselling and distribution relationships;
- domestic and cross-border regulatory advice;
- data privacy policies;
- franchising arrangements;
- specialist intellectual property and technology law support and due diligence for private equity transactions, restructuring,
and international capital market offerings; and
- intellectual property protection strategies.
The firm is one of the few international firms that are uniquely positioned to advise clients on matters relating to Hong
Kong, PRC, U.S., and English law. We have more than 80 professionals located in China's largest commercial cities: Hong Kong,
Beijing, and Shanghai.
The Technology Transactions practice is recognized by Chambers & Partners and Global Counsel as a leader in the field and was recently ranked in the first tier in both Hong Kong and the PRC for technology work from
2006 to 2008. We are the only law firm listed in tier one of the Asian Pacific Legal 500 Directory 2007/2008 for TMT. The PLC Which Lawyer? also recommends the firm as a leading law firm in Hong Kong and China for Telecoms and IT.
Morrison & Foerster also has one of the longest established PRC law teams of any international law firm; we are able to provide
our clients with practical resolutions to PRC regulatory issues that may arise from time to time. We have experienced PRC
lawyers who are intimately familiar with the PRC regulatory environment, especially for technology and telecommunications
companies.
