The law firm REVERA continues to actively promote the development of bilateral relations between Belarus and China.
As part of the official visit of the Deputy Chairman of the PRC Han Zheng to Belarus on June 6, 2026, the Belarus–China Forum on Industrial and Investment Cooperation was held.

The event was moderated by Aliaksandr Antonau, Associate Partner at REVERA. |
Participation in the forum marked a natural stage in REVERA’s systematic development of expertise in legal support of Chinese investment projects implemented within the framework of international initiatives (see link to article to be inserted below).
Supporting such a high-level dialogue confirms REVERA’s status as a reliable bridge for business between the two countries.
REVERA’s Expertise in Advising on Chinese Projects
In this article, we demonstrate REVERA’s real practice in supporting Chinese companies as our clients.
Rule-making: general and individual
REVERA lawyers were part of the working group developing investment legislation at the Ministry of Economy of Belarus. They analyzed Belarusian and foreign law, WTO regulations, participated in drafting a Presidential Decree regulating benefits and preferences for the China–Belarus Industrial Park “Great Stone,” and contributed to amendments aimed at improving it.
Their understanding of the regulatory framework allowed REVERA to support more than 10 companies in obtaining resident status in the “Great Stone” park and to assist them in project implementation.
Many investment projects require targeted incentives to ensure successful execution, faster production launch, and return on investment. REVERA has prepared a number of individual legal acts granting benefits and preferences to Chinese investors.
Construction and investment
Construction projects represent one of the most intensive areas of cooperation with Chinese companies.
This includes corporate structuring, contract law, FIDIC contracts, land issues, permits, disputes with counterparties., contractors, and suppliers.
For a Chinese state construction corporation, REVERA prepared a legal opinion on issues arising during the construction of the surface complex of the Nezhinsky mining and processing plant (potash fertilizers).
The firm also supported the same client in the construction of the BELGEE automobile plant (a localized production of Geely vehicles in Belarus), advising on contracts, regulatory compliance, and coordination with government authorities.
Legal support was also provided to Chinese state-owned companies engaged in the construction of boiler plants (financed by the IBRD under FIDIC contracts), as well as hydro and infrastructure projects under PowerChina, and engineering companies involved in land acquisition and industrial construction.

Corporate law
REVERA advised on labor and migration law, developed HR documentation for Chinese state conglomerates, and analyzed preferential regimes in different free economic zones.
Projects included large Belarus–China joint ventures in biotechnology, agrochemicals, feed production, and industrial manufacturing.
The firm also supported creation of joint ventures between Chinese machinery producers and Belarusian state enterprises.
Banking, finance and sanctions compliance
REVERA acted as local legal counsel for Chinese banks in financing industrial projects, prepared credit documentation, conducted due diligence, and advised on Belarusian law.
One notable case involved structuring a transaction for a Chinese holding company under sanctions-related risks, enabling full project implementation while minimizing exposure.
The firm also analyzed credit agreements for major Chinese development banks financing infrastructure projects.
Technology, telecom and e-commerce
REVERA advised Chinese telecom corporations on disputes with counterparties.
It also supported a Chinese online platform in assessing Belarusian regulation of advertising, e-commerce, payment systems, consumer protection, and taxation.
Additional consulting was provided to Chinese digital media and social networking companies entering the Belarusian market.
Dispute resolution and IP protection
REVERA represented Chinese manufacturers in Belarusian courts in commercial disputes involving the CISG (Vienna Convention), achieving full recovery of payments and costs.
The firm also handled arbitration cases in ICAC at the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, CIETAC, SIAC, and other arbitration institutions.
It successfully resolved domain disputes (.BY domains) and supported debt recovery across the post-Soviet region.
Regulatory compliance and ongoing support
REVERA provides full-cycle legal support (“one-stop-shop”) to major Chinese companies and banks operating in Belarus and other Eurasian countries.
This includes corporate, regulatory, labor, tax, land, sanctions compliance, IP protection, and dispute resolution services.
The firm emphasizes continuous legal support for large-scale infrastructure and investment projects.
Conclusion
|
REVERA’s practice covers the full range of legal issues arising in cross-border investment projects across Eurasia. The firm positions itself as a unified legal partner for international business - a “one window” solution for Chinese investors and companies operating in the region. |
