Anderson & Anderson

What Anderson & Anderson does

Anderson & Anderson LLP is an international law firm established in the United States in 1885, with continuous Asia operations since 1963 and formal Asian offices since 1972 when Senior Managing Partner David C. Buxbaum became the first American attorney invited to represent foreign parties in modern China. The firm operates 16 office locations spanning Greater China (Guangzhou, Shanghai, Chengdu, Changzhou, Hong Kong, Beijing, Macau), Mongolia (Ulaanbaatar), India (Mumbai, New Delhi), Israel (Jerusalem, Tel Aviv), the United States (New York headquarters, Los Angeles, Connecticut), and Brazil (Belo Horizonte); several international offices operate through affiliations with local firms to access local bars. Headcount is reported in the 51–100 employee band.

The firm's core offerings span corporate/M&A, banking and finance (including securities, IPOs, bonds, bullion/derivatives), intellectual property registration and anti-piracy litigation, mining and natural resources, real estate, labor law, FinTech (blockchain, cryptocurrency, smart contracts, ICOs), litigation and arbitration, business registration and licensing, and multilingual legal translation. Technology, as described, is the firm's cross-jurisdictional expertise platform rather than proprietary software.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional services billing (hourly, fixed fee, or contingency depending on matter and jurisdiction), with no subscription or transactional pricing disclosed. The go-to-market is partner-driven and referral-based, targeting multinational corporations and foreign investors needing cross-border legal work in Asia, particularly Greater China and Mongolia. The client roster includes Microsoft, Autodesk, Citibank Shanghai, World Bank, Trade and Development Bank of Mongolia, China Export-Import Bank, Mongolia's largest mining company, and "the world's largest insurance company" and "the world's largest soft drink company," alongside many smaller companies. The firm holds no external investment, operates as a privately-held limited liability partnership, and reports no funding rounds, acquisitions, or public-ownership signals.
