CHINA FOCUS/PRIMARY SERVICES FOR OUR CLIENTS
CHINA FOCUS
The China market provides a wide and diverse range of entrepreneurial opportunities. Unfortunately, abundant opportunities can also lead to high risk business environments, which may well spell disaster for the unprepared.
With many years of experience in this market and with offices in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai, our representatives offer on the ground consultation and advice as well as a broad range of services to help alleviate this risk or, in the case of a commercial problem, to assist with prompt recovery action.
Our services help our clients to resolve a wide spectrum of problems, whether from intellectual property rights abuses or possible fraud deception and code of conduct problems. Needless to say all enquiries are conducted professionally and with total discretion to ensure that our clients are fully protected from any risk. With Intellect's local knowledge and many years of operation in China, our expertise covers the entire country – our network of satellite offices extend to even the more remote regions of Yiwu, Urumqi, Hangzhou, Anhui and Fujian.
In addition to our mature and highly experienced management team, we have an in-house group of seasoned professionals with experience in law enforcement, engineering and trade. The entire team is fully trained and ideally equipped to deal with research and complex analytical requirements within the country.
We are thus well placed to assist in solving the complex array of problems that companies or individuals may face in the country. Our strengths stem from our practical knowledge of China's legal system and local procedures as well as our well-developed relationships with government enforcement agencies.
Recently for example, we were able to arrange for more than 50 separate enforcement actions in China, over a six month period, in the area of Intellectual Property Protection alone. Adding to the effectiveness of this campaign, action was taken simultaneously in many instances, at multiple locations.
Incorporated in the PRC, we are able to perform independent enquiries, conduct market surveys and lodge complaints in China. Intellect complies fully and operates in accordance with the laws of China at all times.
Comprehensive Coverage

Cost Effectiveness
As our clients deal directly with us and the people who get the work done, they enjoy both a rapid response as well as cost effective services. There are no contractors, sub-contractors or sub, sub-contractors in the equation. In addition to these benefits, our well-trained in-house team also ensure total confidentiality of client information.
Our Effective and Professional Team
Our multi-national team has a minimum of 10 years relevant experience in the PRC between them. Ranging from Trade Mark, Patent and Copyright infringement to due diligence, asset tracing, background development and litigation support, our people come from a wide variety of backgrounds. These include the Public Security Bureau, the Hong Kong Police Force, Peoples Liberation Army, commerce and finance as well as professionals in law and accountancy.
With this width and depth of experience, we are able to provide management as well as operational support to our clients both in Hong Kong and China at short notice.
Advanced Technology Standards
We use the most sophisticated technology and we incorporate the latest in high tech equipment in our enquiries to maximise efficiencies and obtain the best results.
