Recently, the UK-China Tech Forum, jointly organized by Tech UK and the China-Britain Business Council (CBBC), was grandly held in the UK. Liao Zhiquan, Deputy Director of the International Department of Hebang Law Firm, was honored to be invited to attend the forum and deliver a speech, jointly exploring the legal and intellectual property challenges in Sino-British technological cooperation.
As a legal advisor to multiple British enterprises, Deputy Director Liao Zhiquan frequently encounters the challenges faced by British foreign enterprises when entering the Chinese market in his daily work. Particularly in aspects such as contract drafting, choice of jurisdiction, and arbitration system arrangements, British enterprises often encounter difficulties due to their unfamiliarity with the Chinese legal environment. Addressing these core issues, Liao Zhiquan elaborated on the legal essentials that must be considered when operating in the Chinese market at the forum, providing practical legal advice to British enterprises.
Deputy Director Liao Zhiquan pointed out that despite the numerous challenges facing Sino-British technological cooperation, there remains immense potential and opportunities in technology trade, investment, and cooperation in non-politically sensitive areas between the two countries. With the deepening of globalization and the rapid development of technology, the prospects for cooperation between China and the UK in scientific and technological innovation and industrial upgrading are vast. Lawyer Liao Zhiquan emphasized that when entering the Chinese market, British enterprises must fully understand and comply with Chinese laws and regulations, especially in terms of intellectual property protection and contract enforcement. Through professional legal support, British enterprises can better cope with various legal risks in operating in the Chinese market and ensure that their own rights and interests are fully protected.
The UK-China Tech Forum, jointly organized by techUK and the China-Britain Business Council, aims to establish a platform for in-depth exchanges and cooperation among technology companies, governments, and key industry stakeholders from both China and the UK. The forum not only attracted numerous technology enterprises and professionals, but also covered the latest trends in public policy, market dynamics, investment environment, and industrial transformation in both China and the UK. Participants expressed that this platform provided them with valuable opportunities for exchanges, which would help promote cooperation and development between China and the UK in the field of technology.
As a member of Hebang Law Firm, Deputy Director Liao Zhiquan will continue to provide professional legal support to British enterprises and contribute his efforts to promoting Sino-British technological cooperation.
