Opportunities and achievements

A diverse and trusted team

Our lawyers have a solid understanding of the local laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China, and a thorough appreciation of local business style and approach. This wealth of knowledge combined with our thought leadership enable us to provide effective strategic, commercial and technical legal advice to our clients.

Award-winning firm

At the 2023 annual China Business Law Awards, we were recognised in eleven categories, including “Best International Law Firm”. These awards recognise achievements in multiple practice areas and sectors. They are based on recommendations from China-focused, in-house counsel and legal professionals around the world.

Our partners Horace Lam and Qiang Li were included in the 2023 edition of China Business Law Journal's A-List, which identifies the top 100 foreign firm lawyers for China-related business. In 2020 DLA Piper won the award for “Best International Firm for Women in Business Law".

Action against Climate Change

In 2021 we launched our eMission 2030 campaign, focused on ensuring our people are kept up-to-date with our actions to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. Our target is to halve our emissions by 2030, compared to 2019/20 pre-pandemic levels.

As part of this commitment, we also established a network of eMission 2030 Champions. These champions provide local support for our environmental and climate change efforts, and inspire action in their local offices, including our offices in Beijing and Shanghai.
