Community Service

Our Greater China offices advised the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Nature Conservancy on general employment issues in China.  We have also advised the NDRC on setting up a non-profit entity in Hong Kong to create increased awareness in the region of the organization’s efforts.

Beijing office partners work with Hua Dan, a charitable organization that helps the large population of migrant women and children in China gain access to education, healthcare, and other basic necessities. The partners have also represented Music for the Growing Mind in various China compliance matters.
