Matrix has deeply entrenched itself in two key industrial sectors—automotive and shipping—and assembled a specialized service team endowed with the dual strengths of industry background and legal practice expertise.

In the shipping sector, we have developed an in-depth focus on maritime and admiralty law practice, forging close alignment with core scenarios including maritime transportation and international trade. In the automotive sector, we keep pace with the industry’s rapid innovation and iteration, delivering comprehensive full-industry-chain legal compliance services to a diverse roster of enterprises.

Leveraging profound industry-specific expertise, extensive practical experience, and end-to-end service capabilities, our team provides efficient, targeted legal support to clients both at home and abroad, safeguarding their stable operations and driving their innovative development.

Matrix was an early entrant in delivering comprehensive legal services and consulting to leading domestic enterprises across the automotive industry ecosystem. Our service scope covers key segments including auto parts manufacturing, vehicle assembly, automotive product import/export, automotive sales (encompassing authorized dealerships and direct sales outlets), and after-sales services. Through years of dedicated practice in this sector, we have also nurtured a team of core lawyers with specialized proficiency in automotive industry laws and regulations.

Currently, our legal services span both domestic automotive vehicle and parts manufacturers—covering both fuel-powered and new energy segments—with clients including BAIC Motor Corporation, XPeng Motors Group, Mercedes-Benz (China) Automotive Sales Co., Ltd., Shenyang Zhongshun Co., Ltd., and Beitai Automotive Industry Co., Ltd.
