China Practice

Gianni & Origoni

Italian companies can rely on Gianni & Origoni as the ideal partner to support their internationalisation strategies and businesses in Asian markets. Chinese investors can also count on qualified assistance to develop their interests in Italy and Europe.

Reflecting our international vocation, our China Practice is led by Partner Alessandro Zalonis and brings together multilingual professionals with in-depth knowledge of China and long-term expertise in the region. Most of the team are based in Hong Kong and Shanghai.

The team assists Italian and European companies by providing legal and tax support and identifying business opportunities in China, while also supporting Chinese investors in entering and operating in the Italian and European markets.

The opening of our Hong Kong* (2014) and Shanghai** (2018) offices has further strengthened our international presence in the Chinese region and our commitment to assisting clients on a global scale. In Shanghai our team is based in the heart of the city’s institutional and business district. This area is also home to the Consulate General of Italy, the Italian Chamber of Commerce in China, SACE, and ICE (the Italian Trade & Investment Agency). This strategic location further strengthens Gianni & Origoni’s ties with “Sistema Italia” and with institutions in both countries.

Over the years, we have built a solid network of reliable and long-standing professional relationships that help facilitate complex cross-border deals, positioning our Chinese teams in the region as key hubs for Asian businesses.

Our China Practice are recognised in leading international directories: for the last 14 years, our law firm has been recognised by Chambers & Partners as Corporate/M&A (International Firms) – Expertise Based Abroad” for China.
