Dealmaking in China: Getting in on the Action

Having a meaningful footprint in China has become a strategic imperative for multinational companies from around the world. The attraction is China's seemingly insatiable demand for products, services, capital and technology. George D. Martin, partner and chair of the Faegre & Benson China Practice, sees the current acquisition boom in China as the logical culmination of foreign investment trends that he first observed when practicing in Shanghai in the mid-1990s.
