Practice Areas Our client, a Fortune 25 retailer, sought to enter China despite mounting opposition to foreign M&A activity. We hinged the client’s outreach to visits by senior U.S. officials as a means to highlight the transaction and increase the likelihood of success, while ensuring any mounting resistance from PRC officials and leadership was addressed quickly. Result: The $100 million acquisition approved in record time; announced at public event with senior US and Chinese government officials, generating significant positive publicity for our client.
