Legal Services in China

Are you moving your manufacturing to China? Looking for competitive bids from Chinese firms to handle your new invention? Buying property in China? Entering into a contract with a Chinese firm? Seeking counsel about a violation of your intellectual property by a Chinese entity?

Through alliances with Chinese law firms, JMX offers a broad range of legal services to American and some European countries. These services include intellectual property disputes, patents and trademarks. JMX acts as a broker for these legal services. We'll put you in touch with the right firm based on your specific needs, then step out of the way as you communicate directly with your Chinese attorney. JMX is paid a referral fee for this service, so we have no vested interest in seeing you accumulate unnecessary legal bills.

JMX is not a law firm and does not endorse the legal opinions or advice of the firms that we recommend. We simply offer a referral service based on our extensive network in China.

The following are some fee schedules for intellectual property legal service provided by one of the law firms we worked with. Rates are subject to change without notice. The following rates are only for your reference.
