Corporate & Financial

The Corporate and Financial Section of the Legal Department directs cases in a manner which emphasizes not only legal consulting services but also works in conjunction and shares professional knowledge with the Accounting, Finance and Tax Services Departments of PricewaterhouseCoopers. In this regard, we are able to provide a broad-based, comprehensive package of professional consulting services. Moreover, we provide integrated, efficient and precisely sufficient schemes to our clients for any type of case.

The primary advantage of the Corporate and Financial Section of the Legal Department's practice is the profound cooperation with PwC. Thanks to our long-term collaboration, our professional legal staff is able to aptly keep our clients apprised of potential risks which may arise in the accounting, finance or tax areas as well as impart realistic solutions while furnishing our legal services, whether in conjunction with accounting, financial or tax professionals.

As a result, the Corporate and Financial Legal Department has become Puhua & Associate's primary practice area since the firm was established in 2000. We have participated in many large-scale, domestic corporate and financial legal cases in a short period and have rapidly accumulated experience and professional knowledge.

In addition, with regards to our connection with international Law firms, by both collaborating with Landwell, PwC's correspondent law firm, and fostering our relationships with local law firms in other major jurisdictions, we are able to satisfy our client's needs for international co-ordination of legal consulting services.
