The Chinese "Year of the Tiger" starts on 14 February 2010. Following the rather sluggish year of the buffalo, the tiger is a symbol of strength, speed, decisiveness, courage and creativity - qualities, which many clients think Graf von Westphalen also has!
Ever since our office in Shanghai opened in 2008 our dynamic team around Stefan Peters has continued to grow. We have already been able to accompany many clients to China and assist them with their demanding projects. At the same time, our Shanghai office has, since it opened, formed a bridge for Chinese Investors on "their way to Europe".
One of our mandates is to advise and support the City of Freiburg with Expo 2010 in Shanghai. Dr. Barbara Mayer, Graf von Westphalen's contact person for the project said, "We are proud to be involved in Expo 2010 as an official advisory partner. With Freiburg and Hamburg, two strong locations where we have offices are represented in Shanghai - that gives a new impetus to German-Chinese business, to our office in Shanghai and to our China activities in Germany." Dr. Robert Theissen, Managing Partner, and Stefan Peters, Head of Graf von Westphalen's Shanghai office, added, "We are optimally positioned for the New Year: We have excellent lawyers both in China and in Germany, who are experienced in Chinese law and proficient in the language. These are the ideal prerequisites for a successful year."
We wish all our clients, friends and partners all the best, good luck and success in the Year of the Tiger.
