Mark Ho is the partner of Wang
& Associates, P.C. He is in charge of our
China Office. Mark started his legal practice
in 1994 when he joined the internationally well-known
U.S. law firm, O’Melveny & Myers. He
helped the firm establish its China Office in
Shanghai. He also worked as the Chief Counsel
for McDonald’s China Company for five years.
He is currently engaged in a general corporate
practice, with an emphasis on cross-border and
Asia matters. Mark has extensive experience advising
clients on China matters. He has advised clients
from many sectors in connection with their investments
and operations in China.
Mark represented Chinese and multinational companies
in China, Hong Kong, Tokyo and the US in numerous
transactions; for example, assisted Ford in purchasing
29% of a major Chinese automotive company by a
secondary offering of B Shares at the Shenzhen
Stock Exchange; assisted major US healthcare companies
in establishing JV operations in China; assisted
world IT companies in setting their Chinese business
in China, and assisted numerous other foreign
investors in purchasing Chinese assets and setting
up business operations in China. He assisted multi-national
companies in their Chinese investment and operations,
including reorganization of China assets, relocating
Headquarters from Hong Kong to Shanghai, converting
many JVs into WFOEs, merging and consolidating
Chinese companies, and acquiring over 500 real
estate premises in about 100 Chinese cities. He
provided counsel on many trademark licenses, retail
licenses and franchising transactions; assisted
clients in franchising deals in China and drafted
and negotiated Chinese franchise agreements. He
worked with clients and banks to set up e-banking
systems and other payment schemes to facilitate
cash business transitions. Mark represented two
major Russian companies and a major Japanese company
in the second and fourth Chinese antidumping cases.
The final result for the Russian case was triumphant:
one Russian company received a zero rate and the
other received a much reduced rate, effectively
preserving their Chinese markets for their products
for the following five years. Mark also represented
clients in litigation and arbitration cases; handled
labor dispute cases.
