Guide to help lawyers navigate Belt, Road

Legal professionals from China and countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative have jointly released a guidebook on investment-related laws to help prevent and solve rising commercial disputes, a senior official of the All China Lawyers Association said.

Leading law firms in Belt and Road countries will work together to compile a practical guide of investment-related laws to reduce legal risks while enterprises make investments, Jiang Junlu, deputy director of the association's international business committee, told China Daily in an exclusive interview.

"A proper legal system and sound legal services are essential to ensure the smooth progress of Belt and Road projects, such as transnational investment and building strategic maritime channels," he said.
