On April 10, 2026, Han Kun Law Offices ("Han Kun") officially launched its Hangzhou office, marking the firm’s tenth global office following those in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Haikou, Wuhan, Singapore, New York, and Silicon Valley.
Hangzhou is actively positioning itself as "China's premier city for AI innovation and development" and as a globally influential source of innovation. Han Kun’s deep-rooted entrepreneurial DNA—forged through years of supporting China’s new economy companies—resonates strongly with Hangzhou’s dynamic, innovation-driven ethos. With this launch, Han Kun will focus on cutting-edge sectors including artificial intelligence, robotics, life sciences, intelligent vehicles, and fintech. The firm will offer clients comprehensive, end-to-end legal services spanning corporate structuring, investment transactions, capital markets, data compliance, export controls, intellectual property, and dispute resolution. Beyond serving as legal advisors, Han Kun aims to be long-term strategic partners to entrepreneurs—standing shoulder to shoulder with them on their journeys of innovation and growth.
The establishment of the Hangzhou office is a key milestone in Han Kun’s global expansion strategy. By proactively aligning with major national deployments such as the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, Han Kun will strengthen synergies between its Hangzhou office and existing offices in Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Wuhan, and Haikou. Leveraging Han Kun’s fully integrated management model, the firm will deliver seamless, cross-jurisdictional legal services that enable clients to connect resources and access markets across China. Through its offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, New York, and Silicon Valley, Han Kun will further provide multidimensional support for our clients’ global ambitions—offering broader perspectives, an extensive network, richer resources, and stronger capabilities in cross-border areas such as capital markets, M&A, regulatory compliance, and dispute resolution.
“Rooted locally, connected globally.” The Hangzhou office brings together a team of legal professionals with both deep local expertise and global vision. Partners from Han Kun’s other offices will work in close coordination with the Hangzhou office to ensure seamless collaboration. Looking ahead, Han Kun Hangzhou looks forward to joining forces with like-minded, innovation-oriented legal talents to help clients seize opportunities, navigate challenges, and achieve sustainable success in an increasingly complex business and legal landscape.
