President from the State Bar of Michigan

 Dickinson Wright has an established china practice group that includes Yan and two other attorneys. The group also focuses on American companies that want to do business in China not only Chinese companies that want to do business in the United States. Bruce Courtade is the President from the State Bar of Michigan and he contends that large law firms focusing on Chinese business is nothing new.

Firms are developing practice groups

Moreover, Mr.Courtade has noted that law firms are investing in different ways to attract Chinese businesses and to enter the China market. Firms are developing practice groups, committees, partnerships and hiring attorney’s with backgrounds in Chinese business and culture to accomplish this.

More Chinese entities expand in U.S.

“In addition, with the “flat world” perspective shared by most – recognizing that the world is flat, and our economy is more and more interconnected with our global trade partners than ever before-it seems to make sense to focus on the world’s largest population mass and second largest economic engine as the source of legal work as more and more Chinese entities look to open or expand their U.S. operations, “ Courtade said.
