JSA was established in January 2007 by Managing Partner, Jeremy Sargent.

Having spent almost a decade working full-time in China as a partner in a large international law firm, Jeremy saw an increasing need amongst international clients for highly practical and quality legal advice when establishing and operating business in China.

China's myriad of laws, regulations, directives and differing regional and local policies create uncertainty, confusion and commercial risks. Vagaries in legislation, overlapping or even conflicting regulations and inconsistencies in enforcement and further challenges.

JSA recognized the many challenges presented by China's complex and fast-changing legal landscape and provides the western investor with clear, accurate and effective legal assistance in the world's fastest-growing economy.
