Due in part to England's storied history as the first industrialized nation, and London's status as the European and global financial center, the United Kingdom presents tremendous opportunities for Chinese companies. At the same time, UK-based companies are also active driving forces in China's growth. E. J. McKay has advised a select number of significant inbound and outbound transactions, representing UK based companies in their investments in China, as well as Chinese companies looking to invest in Europe and tap London capital markets. We maintain close working relationships with a number of leading London-based merchant banks.
