Highlights of the list Law firm ratings First of all, among the 31 business areas, 19 business areas are listed by law firms in the four ratings of the first echelon, the second echelon, the third echelon and the potential law firm.

There are 1 business areas with three law firm ratings; However, there are only two law firms in the two business areas of "Energy and Natural Resources" and "Government Affairs". Among the red circles represented by the red circle, the most eye-catching one is Zhonglun Law Firm, which has been listed for 3 times. The only thing that Zhonglun failed to make the list was the field of "education". In addition, with the exception of banking and finance, medical and life sciences, maritime affairs and sports and entertainment, Zhonglun ranks in the first echelon in the other 26 fields, and its comprehensive strength is very strong.
Both King & Wood Law Firm and Global Law Firm have been on the list for 28 times. The three business areas that King & Wood failed to make the list are "education", "investment fund" and "private wealth management". The three areas that failed to make the list were "energy and natural resources", "government affairs" and "insurance". In addition, King & Wood is ranked as the second echelon in two business fields, namely "maritime affairs" and "science and technology, media and communication", and is ranked as the first echelon in the other 26 fields. Universal only belongs to the first echelon in 1 business fields (including the "education" field that Zhonglun and King & Wood failed to make the list).
Jingtian Gongcheng Law Firm * * * was listed for 26 times, and it also performed well; Followed by Junhe Law Firm, which has been on the list for 21 times. Fangda, Tongshang and Haiwen were slightly inferior, ranking 17 times, 14 times and 11 times respectively. In addition to the Red Circle Law Firm, several other well-known law firms have also performed well. Among them, the most eye-catching is Jintiancheng Law Firm, which has been listed for 2 times, and Jintiancheng has been listed in Network Security and Data Compliance, Dispute Resolution (Litigation), International Trade and Customs Law, Securities and Capital Market (Domestic Issuance), Securities and Capital Market (Merger and Acquisition) and Asset Securitization and Derivatives. Dacheng Law Firm has also been on the list for 19 times, and has been rated as the first echelon in five fields; Hankun Law Firm was listed 15 times; Shihui Law Firm was listed for 11 times. In addition, we also noticed that some relatively young faces and local law firms appeared in the list. For example, Tiger Partners was established in December 219. As a boutique firm focusing on the resolution of major and complex civil and commercial disputes, Tiger v. Law Firm was named as a "potential law firm" in the fields of "compliance" and "dispute resolution (litigation)" by LEGALBAND this time.
LEGALBAND viewpoint in this list of top law firms in China, we can see that several red circles, such as Zhonglun, King Wood, Universal and Jingtian Gongcheng, have gained a lot in the list with their solid professional knowledge, rich professional experience and good market reputation. And well-known domestic firms such as Jintiancheng, Dacheng, Hankun and Shihui are also constantly improving their business, and their brand influence and reputation have also been continuously improved, which has become a force that cannot be ignored in the industry. The ranking is an affirmation of the outstanding performance and outstanding performance of law firms in the past year, and it will also inspire law firms to make persistent efforts and go further in the new year. As for the specific business field, we have noticed that law firms with strong comprehensive strength are often the best in the traditional pillar industries, while some small-scale law firms or local law firms specializing in characteristic fields provide high-quality and highly instructive legal services in specific industries, or gradually grow into the third echelon or potential law firms. We look forward to a more prosperous legal market in China in the future. I also hope that future legal elites may wish to pay more attention to the latest developments in these industries, so that they can choose the most suitable working environment and development path when they are employed in the future.
