Global Law Office

The history of Global Law Office dates back to 1984, when it became the first law firm in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to take an international perspective on its business, fully embracing the outside world.

In today’s global economy, we continue to set the pace as the PRC’s most innovative and progressive law firm. In doing so, we build on the energy and creativity of our highly qualified professionals, most of whom have gained qualifications and hands-on experience in law schools and firms throughout Asia, North America, Europe and Australia.

Our clients are the most important part of our business. We have attracted clients from all parts of the world, working in countless industries and market areas.

Our value is delivered to our international and domestic clients through our deep knowledge and experience across the full range of practice areas and industries affected by Chinese law. As one of the country’s most well-established and respected firms, we can bring our clients the legal and cultural understanding needed for long-term success in the PRC.

At Global, we are proud to be one of the PRC’s most respected and well-connected law firms, recognised as such by both international and domestic league tables and legal institutions including The Legal 500, Chambers and Partners, Asian Legal Business, and so on. We draw on our strengths to ensure we continue to grow and offer the most valuable service to our clients.
