Alex Cai

Alex Cai was one of the early international business lawyers trained in China and encouraged to go abroad to further their legal studies in the early 1980s. After becoming a licensed lawyer in China in 1984, Alex attended the University of Georgia School of Law in 1985, where he earned his LL.M. He then earned his J.D. from the University of California’s Berkeley School of Law. In 1991, Alex was admitted to be a member of the Washington State Bar and worked as an associate at the Bellevue office of Davis Wright Tremaine, a well-known international law firm. In response to a call for overseas Chinese students to start their own enterprises in China, Alex, as one of the small number of lawyers at the time who were licensed both in China and the United States, returned to Shanghai, China to establish a Chinese law firm.

Thereafter, he has devoted himself and his team to providing high quality legal service to multinational corporations, and accumulated a substantial wealth of legal and business knowledge and experience in cross-border transactions and related legal matters. He has serviced numerous small, medium, and large foreign multinational corporations with respect to their investments, development and growth, M&A, corporate matters, business transactions, and project financing.  

In addition to serving foreign multinational corporations, Alex represents and advises Chinese companies and individuals in dealing with their overseas matters in the United States and other countries, such as incorporation, acquisition, and purchase or transfer of real property. Alex also helps Chinese companies in obtaining L-1 visas and Chinese individuals in obtaining EB-5 investment immigrant visas in the United States. Due to his legal knowledge of the Chinese and U.S. legal systems, Alex also helps Chinese clients in formulating their litigation or arbitration strategies in the United States and coordinating with U.S. litigation lawyers. Alex has earned substantial respect from his Chinese and foreign clients for prompt and outstanding legal service.
