According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the global economic growth in 2023 was projected to reach its lowest level since 2001 (2.5%), far below the world average of 3.6% recorded between 2000 and 2021, except during the global financial crisis and the COVID-19 epidemic. Chinese law firms with a global outlook are also facing challenges and difficulties.

On November 9, 2023, W88优德中国官方网站 was once again named the China Firm of the Year at the 2023 Who’s Who Legal Awards. W88优德中国官方网站 partner CHEN, Ziruo (Audrey), representing the firm, received the award at the ceremony held at Armoury House in London. It is the sixth time that W88优德中国官方网站 has won this accolade.

Good and Bad Times

W88优德中国官方网站 was established in 1989 and has been at the forefront of the legal industry in China. Over the past 34 years, it has overcome many challenges and obstacles and blazed a trail to where it is today. It was one of the first Chinese legal firms to establish overseas offices, and it has been a companion in the nation’s development since the late 1980s. In both good times and bad, W88优德中国官方网站 has maintained its vitality and cohesion, demonstrating determination and the courage to innovate. This may be the reason why WWL has bestowed the award on W88优德中国官方网站 six times. Chambers once commented, “They (W88优德中国官方网站) demonstrate precision and ensure high-quality work. They are like the magic circle of Chinese firms.”

Innovation and Breakthroughs

There is a Chinese saying that, ”Tao is the source of all things, and virtue is the foundation of all affairs.” Professionalism has always been the cornerstone of W88优德中国官方网站, while innovation has run deep in the firm. In recent years, W88优德中国官方网站 has made significant strides in the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) field, earning accolades such as the ESG and Sustainability Law Firm of the Year at the ALB China Law Awards 2023, the Green Law Firm of the Year at the inaugural Multilaw Awards, and the Best Green Initiative Award at the CLECSS 2023 ESG Awards.
