Jurisdiction: China

Legal agent skills for China

China's legal framework spans a civil-law influenced statutory system administered by courts organised from the basic level up to the Supreme People's Court, with specialist IP and financial courts in major cities, while regulators such as the CSRC, SAMR, and the national data protection authority under the PIPL add overlapping compliance demands that practitioners must navigate simultaneously. The legal skills assembled for China in the ThomasMore catalog reflect that institutional density, covering corporate formation and M&A, capital markets, competition, data and privacy, employment, real estate, IP enforcement, and dispute resolution across both domestic litigation and international arbitration seated in China.

Each skill is agent-ready, callable over MCP or available as a download, and built around tasks that actually arise in Chinese practice — drafting VIE structure memoranda, screening transactions against foreign-investment catalogue restrictions, assembling PIPL compliance checklists, or tracking filing deadlines before the commercial courts. Because the regulatory environment shifts frequently, from data-localisation rules to outbound-investment controls, the open-source contributions in the ThomasMore catalog are maintained to stay current with legislative and regulatory updates. Whether you work in-house, in a PRC firm, or as foreign counsel advising on China-connected matters, filtering by practice area, license, or author surfaces the capability your specific matter requires. Start with the practice area that defines your current work to bring the full collection into focus.
