Companies can reach out directly, via info@changtsi.com or the main line +86 10 8836 9999, and the firm will assign a partner according to the practice area and the jurisdiction involved.
Alternatively, referrals often come through overseas correspondent firms, as Chang Tsi maintains long-standing relationships with law firms and service providers across more than 200 countries and regions. A third route is direct engagement by an in-house legal team — General Counsel or IP Counsel — without an intermediary.
A foreign company does not need a legal entity in China in order to engage the firm. Trademark and patent filings must by law be made through a trademark agency lawfully established in China. Chang Tsi can execute bilingual (Chinese-English) engagement agreements and accommodate settlement in multiple currencies, with a confidentiality agreement signed before formal engagement begins. Initial discussions typically include a conflict-of-interest check and a preliminary fee estimate.
