China is looking to develop a more predictable and stable legal environment, where businesses can be confident that their and others’ operations are subject to fair, consistent laws that protect their legitimate interests. GBCC works closely with Chinese partners to support these objectives, enhancing stability, sustaining economic growth, and improving the environment for UK companies and citizens operating, living and travelling in China.
GBCC also works closely with UK partners who are technically and commercially very well placed to engage with China on these developments, bolstered by the UK reputation as the home of the ‘original’ common law system adopted by countries and territories all over the world.
Our work in this area focuses on creating opportunities for the UK and UK businesses, by establishing a robust environment of legal certainty and legal enforcement. This includes removing key market access barriers, creating formal and reliable dispute resolution mechanisms, combatting overseas financial crime and other anti-corruption initiatives, as well as improving cross-border trade, the digital economy, and the application of international standards.
