Gide has advised Bank of Communications, China’s fifth-largest commercial bank and the largest based in Shanghai, on the establishment of a branch in France of its Luxembourg subsidiary.
Located in Paris, the new branch will offer more support to the growing number of Chinese investments in Europe. Bank of Communications currently operates in four other European countries.
Gide’s advice covered all aspects of the project, including banking regulatory, corporate, tax, real estate and labour matters.
The team was led by partners Jean-Guillaume de Tocqueville in Paris and Fan Jiannian in Shanghai, with assistance from Emilie Rogey, counsel Guillaume Jeannet, Lisa Chézé-Dartencet, Romain d’Innocente, Léonore Ville, Bai Yiran and Tang Jiale.
