Introduction

Edward Epstein has lived in China for more than 30 years, and for the past 20 years in Shanghai. His practice is in M&A, real estate and general corporate affairs, and he has represented multinational corporations in the due diligence and negotiation of numerous acquisitions and joint ventures, and in the establishment of wholly foreign-owned enterprises in a wide variety of industries including electronics, chemicals, petrochemicals, automotive, packaging and other types of manufacturing operations, as well as real estate.

Epstein is adept at designing strategies for investing and doing business in China. With his long tenure in China and his strong academic background, he belongs to a very small group of foreign lawyers who understand China and Chinese law in the context of its political economy. He is a straight-talker and his clients value his candid, practical and business-like approach to solving their legal problems.
