Beijing, China (December 2, 2010) - Wolters Kluwer China announced today that it
has signed an agreement with Commercial Press, China's first print publisher
dedicated to the translation and introduction of foreign laws and regulations,
to translate and publish Wolters Kluwer's legal titles for Chinese legal and
business compliance professionals, academics, and legislators.
"For our professional customers in the legal field in China, it is of great
importance to have a comprehensive legal offering that can be leveraged across
national and international borders," said Stacey Caywood, CEO Wolters Kluwer
Legal & Regulatory. "We are very pleased that, with this agreement, Wolters
Kluwer China and Commercial Press have strengthened our partnership since the
initial collaboration announced in August this year to deliver this benefit to
our customers."
Labor, employment and social security law have become an important topic for
Chinese academics, legislators, and legal professionals. Through this agreement,
a first of a series of books will be introduced to Chinese customers, and it is
the first translation series published in China that focuses on labor,
employment, and social security laws from foreign countries. The titles to be
introduced in Chinese are published by legal market leaders Aspen Publishers and
Kluwer Law International, part of Wolters Kluwer Law & Business, a leading
provider of information and solutions for the legal, professional, and education
markets.
"The agreement is part of our continuous efforts in China to translate and co-
publish leading international legal content for the Chinese market and to
provide Chinese legal content for international markets. Chinese legal and
business compliance professionals will be able to provide more robust
interpretations of China's labor law by studying labor laws of other countries
through the Chinese-language translations from Wolters Kluwer Law & Business,"
added Shasha Chang, CEO of Wolters Kluwer China.
"The labor law titles published by Aspen and Kluwer Law International are
valuable resources and content for Chinese researchers and legislators. We are
proud to partner with Wolters Kluwer and translate those books into Chinese and
make it available for the growing Chinese professional community," commented Yu
Dianli, President of Commercial Press.
