FREMONT, CA: Acclime, a Hong-Kong- based premier corporate services provider in Asia, has signed a cooperation agreement with R&P China Lawyers (R&P) through which the corporate services team of the law firm will be rebranded and operate as Acclime China.

With this partnership, Acclime creates a solid presence in China and extends its footprint across seven jurisdictions in Asia, including China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, and Vietnam, with more than 200 professional staff.

R&P is a leading Chinese law firm that provides a full range of Chinese legal, tax and compliance services to international businesses. Established in 2010, the firm has built a reputation for its high level of expertise and service. Gradually, it has become one of the most trusted sources of legal support for international companies operating, investing, or doing business in China. R&P serves clients across different sectors, including retail & e-commerce, agriculture, horticulture, industrial & manufacturing, food, chemicals, automotive, media, life sciences, technology, real estate, and trading/sourcing.

“We are excited to form a partnership with Acclime. Our corporate services team can now tap into the expertise and resources of a well-established regional network. More important is that we can support our clients who wish to expand their businesses to other Asian markets,” commented Maarten Roos, Managing Director of R&P.

“We are very pleased to be affiliated with R&P which provides us with a strong platform to set foot into the China market. Being the world's second-largest recipient of foreign direct investment in 2019, and the first Asian market to re-open after the COVID-19 pandemic, China remains the most attractive market for foreign trade and investment in the region. In addition, other economic development initiatives such as the Belt and Road and the Greater Bay Area are shaping the growth of China outbound investment. This strategic partnership will not only strengthen our capabilities to assist clients navigating the complex regulatory landscape in China, but it will also solidify our presence in the country to support China clients wishing to expand globally,” remarked Martin Crawford, co-founder and CEO of Acclime.

The corporate services team of 15 at R&P is expected to join the Acclime family while Maarten Roos and Robin Tabbers of R&P will have dual roles, joining Acclime as Partners.
