I engineer the legal and capital architecture for top-tier Chinese enterprises executing heavy-asset "Soft Landings" in Saudi Arabia and the broader MENA region. Backed by a 30-year-old local corporate infrastructure and a deep understanding of both Chinese capital logic and Sharia-compliant frameworks, I build the legal fortresses that allow foreign capital to deploy safely. 🔹 Core Expertise: • Top-Level Joint Venture (JV) Structuring & Anti-Deadlock Mechanisms • MISA Compliance & Cross-Border Capital Isolation • Strategic Market Entry for SOEs, Tech Giants, and PE/VCs • Multijurisdictional Dispute Resolution 🔹 The Moat: • Peking University Law Alum / PRC Bar Qualified • Fluent in Mandarin, English, French (DALF C1), and Arabic (Advanced) • Deep-rooted local government and corporate relations in KSA & UAE. I bridge the gap between Chinese ambition and Middle Eastern reality. We handle the local legal crossfire so our partners can focus on winning the market.
