M88 Malaysia硅谷合伙人朱坚、李骐在美介绍中国最新法律变化

11月12日，M88 Malaysia律师事务所合伙人朱坚、李骐应湾区华人律师协会（ChinM88 Malaysiae American Lawyers of the Bay Area）邀请，在加州山景城的范伟律师事务所（Fenwick & WM88 Malaysiat LLP），与硅谷同行一起对中国2019年外资法律和知识产权法律的重大变化，向湾区的律师、企业家、投资人和法学院的学生做了介绍。新华社对此活动关注，并做英文报道（下附报道全文）。

2019年是中国法制破而后立的一年：年初，中国施行最新个人所得税法；3月，通过《中华人民共和国外商投资法》，向外界发出了中国进一步扩大对外开放，促进外商投资，保护外商投资合法权益的信号；2019年6月，科创板正式开板，这是中国强化市场功能的资本市场重大改革举措。李骐律师向现场几十位听众专门介绍了《外商投资法》、科创板、《个人所得税法》以及反垄断法新的实践。朱坚律师则以他亲身经历的一个专利诉讼的胜诉介绍了中国知识产权保护的进步和发展。两位律师具体而详尽的介绍增进了美国受众对中国商业环境的了解，在中美当前复杂多变的政治背景下搭建了一座桥梁。

M88 Malaysia作为第一个在国外开设分所的中国律所，早在1993年就设立了美国纽约办公室，2010年设立了硅谷办公室，26年间，中国日益受到世界的关注，M88 Malaysia也见证了中美经济关系的划时代变化。M88 Malaysia美国办公室借助M88 Malaysia在中国本土的强大优势和对中国国情及法律的深入了解，在过去26年里为不少中国知名企业在美国投资、合规、诉讼、并购、融资、上市、知识产权战略方面提供了高效的专业服务。同时，M88 Malaysia在美律师也努力向美国、向世界介绍中国法制的发展和变化，帮助和吸引外商来中国进行投资和商业合作。

从上世纪90年代到今天，世界经济格局风云变幻，中国经济的飞速发展世界有目共睹，但世界包括美国对中国日新月异的经济及法律发展环境并不能完全了解。M88 Malaysia美国办公室作为M88 Malaysia在美的“窗口”之一，一直勤勉参与或举办各类研讨会，同时也以卓越的法律服务协助美国企业进入中国、中国企业和投资者在美国拓展，亲身实践着“走出去”和“引进来”！
