As we optimistically embark on a New Year, we are all faced with a broad range of important business and legal issues. Many are directly linked to the global economic situation and recent collapse of the financial markets. Whatever your challenge may be, we want you to know we are here and remain ready, willing and able to help you with your legal needs in the U.S. and China.

Even if you have not been directly affected by this global economic crisis, you have undoubtedly heard of or know many others whose businesses have encountered or are facing difficult times and who are in need of strategic legal advice. In these turbulent times, it is essential to have a law firm working with you that is aware of how these crises will affect you and your business and how to minimize any negative impact they may cause.

Many prominent national and international law firms have closed their doors this year. Our firm enjoyed sustainable growth in 2008, primarily as a result of our understanding and experience with global business trends and our ability to adapt to the current economic environment. Our ability to succeed in these harsh economic times has helped us counsel our clients effectively.

We continue to provide our services at competitive rates and on flexible terms, without impacting the quality of our legal services or the attention each and every one of our clients expects and deserves. At Allan Law Group P.C we pride ourselves on being a boutique operation with “Big Firm” experience and international expertise, providing focused and individual attention to each client.

I am also the co-founder of the USA China Law Group. The Group provides comprehensive legal, advisory and financial services to clients interested in pursuing investments in, or seeking to establish or expand their presence in, the United States and or China. The Group is committed to promoting U.S. - China cultural and commercial relations. Our ability to think and act globally, combined with our lawyers local U.S and China education and expertise provides our firm with a unique platform to meet our clients’ needs and our philanthropic interest in encouraging U.S China educational and cultural exchanges.

We have an established relationship with a California 501 (c) 3 non-profit foundation, which shares our commitment to U.S - China relations by awarding grants to organizations and individuals seeking to promote cultural awareness and economic ties with China through educational programs, scholarships and initiatives. Since 2001, the foundation has awarded grants to such distinguished institutions as the California Institute of Technology, University of Southern California, Stanford, UCLA and Loyola Law School and our firm has volunteered our time to make presentations for functions hosted by these institutions.

From all of us at Allan Law Group P.C, we thank you for your faith and confidence in our firm. We appreciate your business and wish you and your families a healthy and prosperous 2009.
