Membership Renewal Announcement

Global Law Experts has renewed the membership of Roberto Gilardino of Horizons (Shanghai) Corporate Advisory Company Limited as our Exclusive Member for Cross Border Corporate Advisory Law in China for the next 12 months. This renewal reflects the network decision that the member is a strong match for the Cross Border Corporate Advisory practice area in the China jurisdiction. We are pleased to confirm that Roberto will continue to serve within the Global Law Experts network for an additional term.

Why the Renewal Matters

The renewal of an exclusive membership is an important decision within an international legal network. It signals continuity of expertise for clients seeking coordinated advice across jurisdictions and ensures that the network retains jurisdictional coverage that aligns with client demand. For Global Law Experts members and clients alike, the continued participation of Roberto and Horizons (Shanghai) strengthens our ability to assemble cross border teams that can address corporate transactions and advisory matters touching China.

Reasons the Member Is a Perfect Fit

• Jurisdictional Coverage and Local PresenceChina remains a pivotal jurisdiction for cross border corporate work. Maintaining a dedicated Exclusive Member in China supports the network mission to provide direct access to local counsel with jurisdictional awareness. This renewal preserves a reliable point of contact within the China legal and regulatory environment for referral work and coordinated engagements.
• Practice Area AlignmentCross border corporate advisory work requires coordinated legal, regulatory and commercial judgment across more than one legal system. The renewal recognizes that the member operates within the precise practice area the network prioritizes for the China slot. That alignment facilitates faster, more seamless collaboration on matters such as cross border transactions, corporate structuring and regulatory compliance.
• Capacity for Multijurisdictional CoordinationClients value counsel that can work effectively with other firms and advisors across multiple jurisdictions. Retaining an Exclusive Member dedicated to cross border corporate advisory helps the network manage complex engagements that involve local counsel, international counsel and commercial advisers, while preserving quality and responsiveness.
• Standards and Network ValuesGlobal Law Experts places emphasis on professional standards, transparent engagement practices and client focused service. The membership renewal reflects the network assessment that the member is able and willing to operate within those standards for the benefit of shared clients and collaborative matters.
• Continuity for Referrals and Ongoing MattersRenewal promotes continuity for referrals, ongoing transactions and long term client matters. It reduces friction for clients and network members who expect stable points of contact in China for repeat or evolving corporate advisory needs.

Practice Areas and Client Needs Supported

The renewal strengthens Global Law Experts capacity to support a range of corporate advisory and cross border needs that commonly arise when China is involved. Examples of the types of matters where coordinated expertise is essential include cross border mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic alliances, inbound and outbound investment structuring, corporate governance matters for multinational groups, transactional due diligence, drafting and negotiation of cross border commercial agreements, and advising on applicable regulatory and compliance frameworks. By retaining an Exclusive Member focused on these areas, the network enhances its ability to deliver practical, jurisdiction informed advice to international clients.

How the Network Benefits

• Improved Client OutcomesClients engaged through the network can expect smoother handoffs, clearer allocation of responsibility and a single trusted contact point for China related corporate advisory work. The renewal helps reduce disruptions and preserves momentum on complex transactions.
• Stronger Referral RelationshipsMembers in other jurisdictions who refer work to China benefit from consistent standards and an established relationship. This continuity supports repeat referrals and deeper collaboration across practice areas such as tax, employment, regulatory and dispute resolution where cross border corporate matters intersect.
• Enhanced Knowledge SharingRetaining jurisdictional members for successive terms promotes knowledge continuity within the network. That benefits professional exchange, best practice development and the collective ability to respond to evolving client needs related to China.

Commitment to Collaborative Service

Global Law Experts maintains a focus on assembling experienced, locally anchored practitioners who can integrate with international teams. The renewal of Roberto as Exclusive Member for Cross Border Corporate Advisory Law in China is consistent with that approach. It emphasizes a collaborative model in which referrals are handled by a local specialist who can coordinate with other network members to deliver comprehensive advice across the lifecycle of cross border corporate matters.

What Clients Can Expect Going Forward

During the renewed membership term clients and referring members can expect ongoing availability for coordination on transactional mandates and advisory matters involving China. The network will continue to leverage the China coverage to assemble cross disciplinary teams as needed, ensuring that corporate advisory, regulatory and commercial considerations are addressed together. This continuity reduces the need for multiple introductions and helps preserve institutional knowledge in multi stage transactions.

Looking Ahead

We are pleased to welcome Roberto and Horizons (Shanghai) Corporate Advisory Company Limited for another 12 month term within the Global Law Experts network. The renewal underscores a shared commitment to delivering consistent, jurisdiction informed cross border corporate advisory services. Global Law Experts remains focused on strengthening its international coverage and on ensuring that clients and members have reliable access to counsel who can manage the complexities of cross border corporate work involving China.
