As 2023 comes to a close, Chang Tsi & Partners has once again captured a significant award—our partner Michael Fu has been honored on the LEGALBAND "Client Choice: Top 15 Foreign-Related Lawyers" list, a testament to the professional prowess and market recognition of Chang Tsi attorneys.

In recent years, as China has been advancing the construction of a domestic and international dual circulation pattern and is committed to high-level openness, the interconnectedness of domestic and international markets has continually increased. With China strengthening its opening up and international cooperation, Chinese enterprises have a clear "going global" strategy, which has also attracted a substantial amount of foreign investment. Under this backdrop, the demand for foreign-related legal services has seen a rapid growth.

Based on meticulous reviews of recommendations from various law firms, self-nominations by lawyers, and client feedback, and combined with LEGALBAND's on-the-ground research team’s long-term focus and insight into foreign-related legal services, the "Top 15 Foreign-Related Lawyers" list has been finalized, featuring 15 favored lawyers in this field.

These outstanding foreign-related lawyers have profound legal knowledge, an international perspective, and an in-depth understanding of the legal environments both at home and abroad. They can provide professional services in areas like foreign litigation, international arbitration, and cross-border investments, assisting clients in smoothly conducting business in the complex international arena.

Our Partner Michael Fu has been dedicated to the field of intellectual property legal services for over 15 years, amassing extensive legal practice experience in trademarks, copyrights, domain names, industrial design, and IP enforcement.
