San San Law is a multifaceted law firm that eschews the hierarchy and layers often associated with more traditional firms. Able to provide its clients with both expert legal advice and strategic analysis of legal issues in a business context, San San Law prides itself on its straightforward, no-nonsense approach. Through the expertise of its founder, San San Lee, the firm has evolved into a resource that specializes in hospitality, real estate and corporate transactions, and that also functions as a cross-cultural specialist in U.S.- Asia relations through its representation of businesses that operate in multiple jurisdictions.
Core Values
At San San Law, each client's needs are anticipated — and met — in a highly individualized way. Acutely aware of factors like personal workstyles, corporate demands and transactional expectations, San San Law actively manages its client relationships with a rare blend of discernment and responsiveness. Quick to assess a situation and understand its subtleties, the firm keeps its approach simple and efficient, finding solutions that are both resourceful and creative.
Multiculturalism
San San Law is well-versed in both Chinese and Japanese cultural and business practices, allowing it to help companies from these countries navigate the American business landscape with agility — and to prepare U.S. companies to do the same in Asia. San San Law acts as “outside general counsel” for several Asian companies operating in the US, advising them on transactional and operational matters, and oftentimes, helping clients with the making of key decisions.
In this new multicultural environment, San San Law's skills include spanning the communication gap between cultures with regard to laws, regulations and business practices. It is, however, the firm's innate understanding of the deeper cultural divide — social customs, pacing and personalities — that allows it to act as a cross-cultural facilitator. In this way, San San Law helps keep clients focused on the deal rather than on the often-confusing social elements that can be a fundamental part of this type of business experience.
