Gregg Latchams partner Paul Hardman is playing a key role in an Institute of Directors’ (IoD) drive to encourage more businesses to explore trade opportunities in China.
He appears in a new video, titled Release the dragon within, discussing Gregg Latchams’ own focus on China as a place where the firm can help its clients to do business and as source of inward investment for UK enterprises.
The video has been created to highlight an IoD conference in Bristol on Thursday, 29 September. Hosted by HSBC at the HSBC Commercial Centre, Temple Quay, Bristol, it will feature expert speakers from UK Trade and Investment, the China-Britain Business Council, the Institute of Exports, Bristol China Partnership, the University of the West of England, Bristol, and directors of Bristol and South West businesses including Gregg Latchams.
Paul, a partner in Gregg Latchams’ Corporate & Commercial department, will be among speakers sharing their experience of developing and growing business in China, where the economy has grown at around 10 per cent a year for almost three decades.
In September 2010, Paul and Ken McEwan, who heads Gregg Latchams’ Litigation department, visited Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province, as part of a delegation led by representatives of Bath and North East Somerset Council.
The trip supported Gregg Latchams’ increasing specialisation in supporting businesses entering Chinese markets and Chinese entrepreneurs coming to the UK and included Gregg Latchams signing a memorandum of understanding with two respected firms of lawyers in Nanchang.
Paul said: “We would encourage anyone thinking of doing business in China to get out there and find out more for themselves.”
