On the morning of October 29th, 2024, Ediacaran (EDICR) and representatives from the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) of Antigua and Barbuda paid an official visit to the offices of Yingke Law Firm in Beijing for an in-depth exchange and collaborative discussion. This meeting focused on the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program (CIP) and explored how both parties could effectively collaborate to deliver top-notch global immigration and investment services to their clients. Mr. Li Zheng, Vice Chairman of the Yingke Global Board and Chairman of the China Board, hosted the delegation throughout the visit.
The primary agenda of the meeting revolved around the introduction of Antigua and Barbuda’s Citizenship by Investment Program (CIP) to Yingke Law Firm and the exploration of future collaboration opportunities. As a key component of Ediacaran’s portfolio of immigration planning and global residency services, the CIP program aims to help global clients acquire Antigua and Barbuda citizenship through investment, providing them with enhanced global mobility.
Given the evolving global geoeconomic landscape, high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and investors worldwide are seeking diversified asset allocation strategies and globalized living experiences. This engaging discussion not only opens up a global service channel for Yingke Law Firm but also ensures legal support for Ediacaran in the Chinese market. Together, they plan to enhance the global perspective of their services, offering clients superior solutions in wealth management, immigration, identity planning, and tax optimization.
The Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program has gained widespread attention and favor in recent years. By investing in real estate or contributing to government-approved development funds, applicants and their families can obtain citizenship quickly and enjoy the wide range of international benefits associated with holding an Antigua and Barbuda passport. As a popular CIP program within the Caribbean, this program represents an ideal pathway for high-net-worth clients seeking diversified identity options and global asset positioning.
Ediacaran has long provided a comprehensive suite of immigration and global residency services to its international clientele. Its primary service offerings include:
- Investment Immigration Planning : Helping clients apply for investment visas and residence permits across key regions such as the Caribbean, Europe, and Asia.
- Multi-country Identity and Tax Planning : Assisting clients in structuring global identities and leveraging various international tax systems to optimize their wealth.
- Overseas Life Settlement Services : Supporting clients with overseas medical care, property purchases, and settlement services to ensure a smooth transition to their new living environments.
By joining forces with Yingke Law Firm, Ediacaran will gain enhanced legal support in the Chinese market to further promote the Antigua and Barbuda CIP. This collaboration will help domestic and international clients safely and effectively facilitate their identity transitions and wealth management processes.
As a globally renowned large-scale law firm, Yingke Law Firm is committed to offering its clients comprehensive global legal support. During the meeting, Mr. Li Zheng emphasized the firm’s dedication to expanding its global services and its mission to deepen collaboration with international partners. Yingke Law Firm expressed its willingness to work closely with Ediacaran to provide professional, compliant legal services that aid both domestic and international clients in cross-border legal affairs and asset management. By fostering global legal cooperation, the firm aims to bolster its clients’ success in navigating international markets.
Beyond this discussion, the collaboration between Yingke Law Firm and Ediacaran lays the foundation for further development and opens up new avenues for future cooperation on a larger scale. Mr. Li highlighted plans to explore deeper strategies in global legal services, legal compliance in investment migration, and the financial and tax structures associated with these areas. By seizing this opportunity, both parties will offer clients a one-stop, diversified service platform, paving the way for new growth.
This forward-looking dialogue, facilitated by the visit of Ediacaran and the Antigua and Barbuda CIP delegation to Yingke Law Firm, marks the beginning of a pragmatic, collaborative, and mutually beneficial relationship.
