  • ‘It is the best foreign law firm I have ever encountered. On the one hand, the team's professional capabilities in terms of cross-nationality and legal environment are demonstrated, especially the Beijing representative office's ability to coordinate global legal services, which is the best among the foreign law firms I have encountered. It can be seen that the Beijing representative office has received strong support from its global resources, which also underscores its capabilities. On the other hand, the staff of the Beijing representative office is always in a very professional, diligent and efficient working state. The staff capabilities are constantly improving, the team diversity remains vibrant, and they are able to focus on important matters based on client needs. It is excellent.’
