Zhonghao has sealed an alliance with Detroit-headquartered Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn to capture a share of the advisory work emanating from the booming auto and manufacturing industries in Chongqing, Sichuan.
As part of of China’s renewed efforts to develop its Western frontier and the region’s influx of foreign investments, Zhonghao’s Chongqing office has struck an alliance with the American firm to better position itself to capture a share of the legal work arising from increasing levels of Sino-American trade and cross-border transactions.
A bustling industrial and manufacturing base in southwest China, Chongqing is home to the nation’s key car part makers and domestic auto manufacturers, which are suppliers to and partners of U.S. auto giants.
Robin Yuan Xiaobin, managing partner of Zhonghao, said the firms’ partnership will give both the opportunity to advise Chinese and American clients on regulatory issues and policies, facilitate referrals of projects, information sharing pertaining to risk mitigation and legal updates.
Zhonghao has offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong in addition to two offices in Sichuan—Chongqing and Chengdu. In April this year, the firm also opened an office in Guiyang, Guizhou province.
Honigman has offices in Michigan, including Detroit, Lansing, Oakland County, Ann Arbor and Kalamazoo. The firm is known for its expertise in advising clients from the auto, commercial real estate, alternative energy and life sciences sectors.
Honigman acted as co-counsel to General Motors in relation to its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. The firm also spearheaded the supply chain risk management protocol, which is widely used in automobile and manufacturing industries.
