A substantial portion of business in KKT is from the representation of clients based in China. We have a devoted team of attorneys who are fluent in Mandarin Chinese and understand the Chinese business culture. From food distributors to pharmaceutical giants, we represent a wide variety of China-based clients seeking U.S. representation for their legal needs. From patent litigation to corporate/business transactions, we provide important services that are necessary for any China-based company to succeed in the U.S. market.
Corporate/Business Transactions
We also provide a broad range of legal services of a transactional nature, from mergers and acquisitions to general corporate law diligence. Our corporate/business transactions group ensures that our China-based companies successfully operate their businesses in the United States. We have helped several China-based companies acquire U.S. assets and companies to enter the U.S. market. Our attorneys have also represented China-based companies in fulfilling their securities law Section 16 and 13 filing obligations. We provide counsel and guidance on many cross-border transactions between China and the United States. KKT now serves as general counsel to many companies, U.S.-based and China-based, that have active cross-border business between the U.S. and China.
Commercial Litigation
In this globalized economy, the volume of cross-border transactions has increased rapidly, and those transactions sometimes result in disputes. Our commercial litigation practice group assists our clients in assessing their legal risks and liabilities before problems emerge. When disputes arise, our team of attorneys is experienced to handle complex cross-border litigations, from communicating legal issues to the logistics of discovery. Our lawyers are experienced in all areas of commercial litigation, from breach-of-contract to product liability/breach-of-warranty cases. We walk our clients through every step of their proceedings, no matter how lengthy and complicated. We represent you in settlement negotiations, litigation, or through various forms of alternative dispute resolution, including arbitration and mediation. We strongly stand in front of you to support your business.
Intellectual Property (Patent Litigation/ITC Proceedings, Trademark Registration and Enforcement)
When China-based companies enter into the U.S. market, often times they face patent litigation against U.S. corporate giants which try to protect their market share and stop in-growth Chinese competitors from entering into the U.S. market. Due to prohibitive costs and attorneys' fees of litigating patent infringement case, Chinese companies often choose to default.
We specialize in representing respondents/defendants in both ITC (International Trade Commission) 337 investigation proceedings and federal courts all across the United States. Our attorneys in the intellectual property practice group are fluent in Mandarin, which allows us to effectively communicate with our China-based clients on important legal issues and strategy. Effective communication with China-based clients also assures that our attorneys fully understand the complex technologies involved in a lawsuit.
Committed to a cost-effective approach, we provide reasonable and flexible fee arrangements. Our attorneys have represented China-based companies and have successfully defended them in both ITC proceedings and U.S. federal courts dealing with Patent Infringement while operating with a relatively low budget.
Trademarks are invaluable assets of every company. We help China-based companies secure registration and enforce their common-law or federal law trademark rights in the U.S. We always adopt a results-oriented and cost-effective approach to best protect our clients’ intellectual property rights and maximize their interest.
Immigration
The management team is crucial to the success of a business. When China-based clients expand their business into the U.S., it also becomes crucial to have a management team in place in the U.S. to fully and accurately execute the corporation's decisions and policies. Our immigration practice group helps China-based clients obtain work visas for their executives to come to the U.S. to perform their duties. We are experienced representing many companies in obtaining work visas for their employees at the executive level.
