On December 4, 2025, Lawyer Chen Jianmin, Vice President, Senior Equity Partner, and Joint Executive Director of the Shanghai office at Beijing DHH Law Firm, visited the Hong Kong Chinese Industry & Commerce Association for a discussion and exchange. Mr. Liang Yong'an, Chairman of the Hong Kong Chinese Industry & Commerce Association, warmly received him and engaged in a discussion with Lawyer Chen on leveraging the professional strengths and brand values of enterprises from both regions to facilitate efficient global expansion through precise collaboration and professional services.
Lawyer Chen Jianmin first introduced the development overview and global footprint of Beijing DHH Law Firm to Chairman Liang Yong'an. Currently, DHH boasts over fifty branches worldwide and a professional team of more than 2,000 practicing lawyers, capable of providing comprehensive, one-stop, high-quality legal services to clients globally. As of this year, DHH has been listed among the "ALB China Top 30 Largest Law Firms" for twelve consecutive years, consistently ranking in the top ten. This achievement not only underscores DHH's profound expertise in the legal services sector but also highlights its core competitiveness in both domestic and international legal service markets.
Subsequently, drawing on his professional expertise, Lawyer Chen Jianmin shared common needs observed in mainland enterprises leveraging Hong Kong as a springboard for global expansion and Hong Kong enterprises entering the mainland market. Lawyer Chen pointed out that different regions feature distinct political environments, legal systems, business climates, and transactional practices, resulting in diverse needs and challenges for enterprises going global. Many mainland enterprises, armed with mature industrial chain experience and strong local brand reputation, encounter difficulties in Hong Kong due to unfamiliarity with international market rules and a lack of cross-border resource integration capabilities. Conversely, Hong Kong enterprises, equipped with international perspectives, financial services expertise, and global channel advantages, often face challenges adapting to the mainland market due to insufficient understanding of regional policies and industrial ecosystems. This necessitates lawyers gaining a deep understanding of an enterprise's specific business, development stage, and strategic planning, and then, in light of the legal norms and business practices of the target market, providing comprehensive service solutions tailored to the varying needs at different stages of the enterprise's global expansion journey. These stages range from compliance research in the preliminary preparation phase and structural design for investment and establishment, to risk prevention and control in operational management, and rights protection in dispute resolution. Furthermore, the professional value of lawyers lies not only in their mastery of the legal field but also in their keen insight into international business risks. Taking cross-border trade scenarios as an example, lawyers need to stay abreast of dynamic factors such as changes in international trade rules and adjustments to tariff policies, proactively identifying potential trade friction risks and compliance pitfalls for enterprises, thereby helping them navigate the complex international market environment with stability.
In response to the diverse needs of two-way investment and development between enterprises from both regions, Lawyer Chen Jianmin emphasized that while law serves as the foundational safeguard, enterprises truly require comprehensive support that is "practical and capable of solving real-world problems." Based on this, Lawyer Chen proposed providing a one-stop, all-encompassing service system for enterprises going global, facilitating their "stable global expansion, smooth landing, and robust development" throughout the entire chain. Firstly, offering full-process services, including "compliance diagnosis + framework construction + follow-up support," for mainland enterprises expanding into Hong Kong. This involves assisting mainland enterprises in aligning with the Hong Kong market, assessing business fit, ensuring cross-border operations comply with Hong Kong's regulatory requirements, and mitigating global expansion risks. Secondly, interpreting regional policy differences on the mainland for Hong Kong enterprises investing in the mainland. This focuses on industrial support policies in key regions such as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Yangtze River Delta, helping enterprises identify optimal investment regions and coordinating mainland government-enterprise connection channels for Hong Kong enterprises to shorten their landing cycle. Thirdly, establishing a "resource connection database." This involves integrating resources from mainland industrial parks, Hong Kong investment and financing institutions, and cross-border service partners to provide enterprises with a "one-stop resource pool" for target screening, capital connection, and landing support.
During the exchange, both parties reached multiple consensus points and agreed to strengthen cooperation in connecting enterprise global expansion projects in the future, jointly fostering a superior business environment for enterprises. Chairman Liang Yong'an highly recognized Lawyer Chen Jianmin's professional competence and industry insights, looking forward to more practical collaborations and in-depth interactions in the future. Lawyer Chen Jianmin also expressed his intention to take this discussion as a starting point and continuously optimize the content of the one-stop service.
Towards the end of the exchange, both parties specifically mentioned the "Digital Asset Business and Compliance Frontier Forum (RWA) Special Session," organized and planned by Lawyer Chen Jianmin as one of the lead organizers, scheduled for the following day. Chairman Liang Yong'an will attend the forum as a guest speaker.
This visit not only deepened mutual understanding between both parties but also established a new channel for connecting one-stop comprehensive services with enterprise needs. In the future, as cooperation between both parties materializes, more enterprises will leverage the support of one-stop services to seize opportunities in the economic and trade integration between the two regions, achieving robust cross-regional development.
