China Commercial Law Firm

Founded in 1993, China Commercial Law Firm is one of the first partnership law firms approved in China, as well as one of the largest comprehensive law firms. For many years, it has topped Guangdong’s legal market in terms of scale, revenue and tax payment. The firm’s headquarters is located in the geographically optimal Futian district of Shenzhen, occupying levels 21 to 25 of the China Travel Service Tower. As of August 2022, China Commercial Law Firm has 39 branches and more than 2,500 professionals, including 256 partners and more than 1,900 practising lawyers.

The core competitive edge of China Commercial Law Firm lies in its ability to provide clients legal services with local superiority, industrial advantages and international vision. Throughout its 30 years in Shenzhen, the firm formed stable business relationships with government sectors, judicial departments and enterprises in the city as well as across the Pearl River Delta, and worked closely with regulators such as the CSRC, Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges and SASAC, and securities service providers. With branches covering China’s major economic belts, provincial capitals and economically active cities, the firm has a presence in 14 cities with trillion-level GDP, spreading its professional and efficient legal services network across the whole nation and extending it to North America, the Middle East, Europe and elsewhere.

In a new era of development, with Shenzhen as the base of operations, the firm will consolidate its presence in the Greater Bay Area, extend its services to coastal areas, main economic belts and economically active cities, adhere to the Belt and Road Initiative, and explore markets beyond the border. With regional synergy, globalisation, professional clustering, industrialisation and free trade zones as principal strategies, along with novel foreign-related legal services, free trade zone legal services and whole industrial chain legal services as core offerings, the firm aims to establish itself as a domestic leader with international renown.
