China Business Law Journal The A-List 2024-2025

China Business Law Journal The A-List 2024-2025

Based on research conducted by China Business Law Journal, the following are the Growth Drivers for China practice (including 160 lawyers practicing PRC law and 100 lawyers practicing in foreign law firms or overseas), and their key practice areas. Click here to read the full report.

Detailed biographies and contact information, where provided, were written by the lawyers themselves and have not been independently verified.

METHODOLOGY

The A-List is based on extensive research conducted by China Business Law Journal. To identify the elite lawyers for the Chinese market, we turned to in-house counsel in China and around the world, partners at Chinese and international law firms, as well as professionals in other organisations, and asked them to tell us which lawyers should make the cut.

The final list that we have produced reflects the nominations received combined with the China Business Law Journal editorial team’s years of collective experience in documenting and analysing China’s legal market.

All private practice lawyers for the China market were automatically eligible for inclusion in the nomination process, and there were no fees or any other requirements for entry into that process. The names and photographs of all A-List lawyers are published on the pages that follow.

In addition, each A-List lawyer was given the opportunity to include their biography and contact details, for which a publishing fee was charged.

It is important to note that while the compilation of the A-List was based solely on independent editorial research, the biographies and contact details that appear alongside many of the listings have been written by the winning lawyers and the content has not been independently verified by China Business Law Journal.
