Amsterdam, The Netherlands, July 19, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Wolters Kluwer's CCH Asia launches China Law Express, a daily email alert of legislative and regulatory change in China
Wolters Kluwer, a leading multinational publisher and information services company, today announced that CCH Asia, part of its Tax, Accounting & Legal Division, has further established its credentials as the premier information provider on Chinese law, with the launch of China Law Express.China Law Express will provide the latest news on changes and developments in Chinese law. With the increasing focus that many of the world's businesses have on China, the need for regular and up to date reporting on Chinese law has never been greater. China Law Express, with daily alerts of important changes in Chinese law and regulation, makes staying abreast of legislative and regulatory change easier than ever before.
CCH Asia's Managing Director, Matthew Sullivan, said, "We are excited about filling an important information gap in one of the world's most attractive and lucrative markets. Discussions with our customers revealed that foreign businesses and professional firms in China find it very difficult and costly to locate important changes in legislation and regulation. The failure to be aware of, and deal with, these changes can result in expensive and damaging mistakes that can render even the best business plans ineffective".
China Law Express helps professionals -- both inside and outside China -- solve this problem.
Focused primarily on commercial law, China Law Express is a bilingual (English and Chinese) web service that provides daily updates on developments and changes in laws in the People's Republic of China.
Subscribers receive daily email alerts that summarize developments and changes and detailed information is accessed via a dedicated website (www.chinalawexpress.com) that also offers keyword or topic search in both Chinese and English.
