Synopsis

Co-sponsored by ICS Trust (Asia) Ltd and Mexican Consulate - Beijing, the consulate's monthly dinner gathering is joined by Mr. Daniel Booth, Vice President, ICS TRUST (ASIA) Limited to discuss how best to structure business operations in China while providing the parent operations in Canada with some degree of protection against exposure to legal and/or financial risk in Mainland China.

• Why the legal system in Hong Kong works to provide transparency and clear recourse when compared to China
• How Hong Kong’s infrastructure offers a lower risk profile from the perspective of providing a firewall against litigation against a parent company and IPR
• Why a Hong Kong structure could give Canadian companies increased flexibility options both locally and internationally
• What makes Hong Kong a unique place to do business in Asia from a perspective of its world class infrastructure
• How the Hong Kong tax structure works to the advantage of companies doing business in China
• The importance of a robust banking and finance system in Hong Kong when considering regional alternatives.
