Why German Lawyers Should Engage with Chinese Law

In an increasingly globalized world, knowledge of foreign legal systems is becoming ever more important. China, as the world’s second-largest economy, plays a key role in the global economy. German companies maintain extensive business relations with Chinese partners, and it is beneficial for German lawyers to understand the basics of Chinese law.

Engaging with Chinese law is not only valuable for international business, but also for comparative legal studies, as it helps to trace the influence of German law abroad.
