Zhong Lun Law Firm is Interlaw’s highly esteemed newest member in China, representing the jurisdiction of Beijing. Established with ten lawyers in 1993, the full service commercial law firm has grown to more than 130 attorneys and is rated among the top five firms in Beijing. Recently Zhong Lun was named to the “Red Circle,” designating it among the top fifty law firms in all of Asia. The firm practices in several languages beyond Chinese, including English, Japanese and Korean. Many of the partners were educated in the U.S. and in Europe, and several members of the firm have co-authored legal articles with scholars outside of China or have, themselves, been “visiting scholars” at prestigious colleges and universities worldwide. They also office in Shanghai and Shenzhen.

The lawyers and professionals of Zhong Lun Law Firm have significant experience in direct foreign investments, a tremendous asset in China, the fastest growing economy in the world. Other key practice groups include international trade, mergers & acquisitions, corporate and securities; real estate, construction, energy and infrastructure; finance and banking; maritime, transport and logistics; intellectual property, litigation and arbitration. The firm is particularly well known for its ability to work with government agencies of China to expedite client projects.

Zhong Lun, with origins as a State-owned firm with few attorneys, is one of the first integrated partnership law firms in China. Early on it adopted advanced management concepts in professionalism and efficiency to effectively service domestic and global clients. It is now among the largest firms with significant resources and a business model to exceed expectations of its clients.

D.P. Naban of Malaysia’s Lee Hishammuddin Allen & Gledhill and Interlaw Chair Jim Harrowell and Eileen Jiang from the offices of Hunt & Hunt, Sydney and Shanghai (respectively) visited the Beijing firm as part of the membership process and enthusiastically endorsed the firm for membership. “My personal impression of Zhong Lun,” observed Mr. Naban “is that of a modern, dynamic law firm with a strong international practice group.”
