To identify the top 100 lawyers for China practice, the editorial team has turned to thousands of in-house counsels in China and around the world, as well as partners at Chinese and international law firms, and asked them to tell which lawyers should make the cut. Nearly 2,000 nominations were received from in-house counsel, business leaders and lawyers. The final list reflects the nominations received combined with the China Business Law Journal editorial team’s years of collective experience in documenting and analysing China’s legal market.
