Legal advice across the Brazil–China corridor: Chinese groups investing and operating in Brazil, and Brazilian companies doing business in China.

Talk to the China Desk WhatsApp

A desk built on in-house experience — not assembled for appearances.

Murray Legal’s China Desk connects Brazilian and Chinese companies in commercial transactions, investments and cross-border projects.

Our team supports Chinese groups in Brazil on corporate, tax, regulatory and employment law matters, as well as in the setting up of local operations and local compliance.

At the same time, we advise Brazilian companies operating in China or doing business with Chinese partners, supporting them in international contracts, including commodity purchase and sale, structuring of joint ventures and expansion strategies.

This practice rests on years running legal departments in Chinese technology and telecommunications multinationals and on executive training in Chinese trade and culture with the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China, in Beijing.
