Landing Lawyers Bryan & Avon Assist Australian Client in Shenzhen FIE Setup & Legal Services

When foreign enterprises encounter policy or procedural bottlenecks while setting up companies in China, relying on the cross-regional professional service capabilities of legal teams to adjust registration location strategies promptly is critical to ensuring efficient corporate establishment. 

In 2024, an Australian client planning to establish a company in Shanghai, China, faced challenges due to unfamiliarity with local regulations, procedures, and required documentation. 

The client sought assistance from Larry Zhou’s legal team at Landing (Shenzhen) Law Office, with attorneys Bryan Zhang and Avon Zhao handling the case. 

From April to October 2024, the client’s company registration process in Shanghai encountered unexpected complexities, including issues, such as the expiration of the validity period for the company name application (requiring re-verification), changes in material requirements due to the implementation of the new Company Law, and rejection of the initially proposed registered address. These hurdles significantly delayed progress. 

Throughout the process, our legal team maintained effective communications with the client and government authorities, adjusted application strategies in real time, reorganized registration materials to comply with new regulations, and repeatedly confirmed approval standards with relevant departments to ensure compliance. 

Given the prolonged timeline for Shanghai registration, our team leveraged the foreign investment policy advantages of the Greater Bay Area and advised the client to pivot to establishing the company in Shenzhen.

Following the requirements of Shenzhen’s Administration for Market Regulation, our lawyers assisted the client in preparing all application materials, accompanied them to submit the application on-site, and successfully completed the registration on the same day. The business license was obtained within three days. 

The client highly commended our team’s professionalism, particularly praising our rapid response to policy changes and holistic coordination, which provided critical confidence and support throughout the process. The final outcome far exceeded the client’s expectations.
