When Christian Tuttlies first travelled to China in 1998, he was fascinated by the new pioneering spirit in the region. His study of the Chinese Region and Law at the University of Cologne and the Zhejiang University Hangzhou not only enabled him to familiarise himself extensively with Chinese culture and characteristics, but also to understand the daily concerns of the people locally. He then went on to gather initial professional experience in Shanghai and Zhongshan. Christian Tuttlies has been a successful consultant at our Shanghai office since 2009.
