About this office:
With over 210 fee-earners, including 30 resident partners in offices in Beijing, Dubai, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City, Shanghai, Singapore and Tokyo, the Asia Practice offers full-service capability across the region.
Lovells has a long history in China and has been advising clients on doing business here since China's opening to the West almost 30 years ago. Lovells was one of the first five foreign law firms to be licensed to open an office in Beijing in 1992. We were also among the first (and remain one of the few) international law firms approved to establish a second office in Mainland China, which we opened in Shanghai in 2003 following China's entry into the World Trade Organization. Our China offices have a large number of lawyers fluent in Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, French, German and a number of other Asian and European languages.
In China, Lovells is highly regarded for its Corporate and M&A, Dispute Resolution and Intellectual Property Practices and is consistently recognized as one of the leading China practices amongst international law firms with offices in Beijing and Shanghai. Close relationships with the All China Lawyers Association (ACLA) and other domestic law firms, gives Lovells' China Practice an enviable footprint on the mainland. Lovells also has co-operated with the Law and Policy Bureau of the State-owned Asset Supervision and Administration Commission of China (SASAC) and the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) on a range of programmes relating to the development of legal risk management strategies for Chinese companies.
Lovells has made a significant commitment to servicing the legal and business needs of its clients in Asia. The firm's Asian offices work with offices in other jurisdictions to provide an integrated legal service to clients doing business throughout the Asia Pacific region and internationally.
