Zhong Lun launches in London after hiring team from rival firm

Major Chinese law firm Zhong Lun has launched a new office in London after hiring the entire London team from breakaway firm Zhonglun W&D. Partners Xue Haibin, Li Lin Na, and Emily Wang are making the move along with four associates and two administrative staff. Robert Lewis, the senior of counsel at Zhong Lun in Beijing, said that the firm’s London office will focus on serving European companies doing business in China. "London has a concentration of many excellent law firms and we believe that establishing a relatively modest presence there will help us expand our relationship with potential clients and especially with local law firms in the region," he said.
