What We Do

We solve problems your lawyers and local team can't.

The gap between Chinese government expectations and Western corporate logic is where most foreign companies fail. We operate in that space.

When you receive an ambiguous notice or face a sudden audit—we decode what's actually being asked and resolve it through established channels. Fast, quiet, effective.

How we help
  • Decode regulatory notices within 24 hours
  • Identify actual decision-makers
  • Prevent escalation before it starts
  • Manage sensitive stakeholder communication
Regulatory Navigation

  • Strategic timing for submissions
  • Direct coordination with authorities

Who We Work With

International companies with China operations they can't afford to lose.

We work with executives who need results—not another report that sits on a shelf.

Your Situation
Mid-size companies (50-500 employees)

Large enough to have real China exposure. Too lean to have dedicated government relations staff. You need senior expertise without building an internal team.

Common scenarios
  • Healthcare: NMPA approvals, clinical trial navigation
  • Technology: Data compliance, operating licenses
  • Consumer: Market entry, product certifications
Your Role
China GMs, Regional Heads, C-Suite

You're accountable for China results but can't explain to HQ why things work differently here. You need a trusted counterpart who speaks both languages.

When to call us
  • High-stakes approvals with unclear timelines
  • Board questions you can't fully answer
  • Sensitive situations requiring discretion

From confusion to clarity in 48 hours.

"We received an ambiguous government notice that had our legal team confused for weeks. Within 48 hours of engaging Name & Fame, we had clarity on what was actually being asked, who the real decision-makers were, and a concrete action plan. More importantly, they explained it in terms our North American headquarters could understand and act on—something no one else could do."
