Cross-border projects often span multiple jurisdictions and several professional disciplines. The Global Cross-Border Compliance Think Tank is a professional collaboration network initiated by China-Singapore Legal News, connecting legal, tax, corporate secretarial, HR, trust, dispute resolution, and business support institutions with Chinese- and English-language service capability.
This network is a resource collaboration mechanism — not a single institution — and it does not constitute a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship. The service team, scope, and responsibility boundary for any specific project are confirmed separately based on the client's needs.

Collaboration principles
1. Independent practice
All partners retain independent practice or business status. The network does not constitute a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship.
2. Project-by-project matching
The service team and scope for each project are confirmed separately. A collaboration relationship does not imply mutual endorsement or joint liability.
3. Qualification matching
Specific matters are handled by institutions holding the appropriate jurisdictional licenses or professional credentials.
4. Transparent coordination
Clients are entitled to clarity on each party's role, scope of service, and responsibility boundary.
How to engage
If you are a professional institution seeking to join the network, you are welcome to share an institution profile, your core service areas, and the jurisdictions you cover. We will reach out for an initial conversation after our review.
If you are a client whose cross-border project may require multi-jurisdiction support, we will, during project assessment, explain whether other professional institutions in the network need to be coordinated — and clarify their respective service scopes and fee arrangements.
