Our History:

Founded in 1993, Zhong Lun Law Firm is one of the first partnership law firms in the PRC. With effect from April 17, 2012, it has been restructured into a limited liability partnership in accordance with the law. After years of rapid and steady growth, today Zhong Lun has established itself as one of the largest full-service law firms in China, with over 390 equity partners and more than 2,500 professionals working in eighteen offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu, Chongqing, Qingdao, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Haikou, Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Almaty. Our in-depth expertise and close inter-department collaborations enable us to provide clients with high-quality legal services in more than 60 jurisdictions across a wide range of industries and sectors.

Our Culture:

With a strong entrepreneurial spirit, Zhong Lun partners join their clients at the front lines to actively resolve disputes and transactional issues. Through their dedication Zhong Lun has achieved a leading market position today. In recent years, the number of Zhong Lun partners recognized by Chambers Asia-Pacific industry guides has surpassed all other Chinese law firms. We also share a collaborative spirit and are structured to ensure that only the most appropriate professional team takes responsibility for your case.

Industry Contributions:

Our partners actively contribute to the development of China's legal industry. Zhong Lun's founding partner, Zhang Xuebing, served as the president of the influential Beijing Lawyers Association twice and also the vice president of the 9th All-China Lawyers Association. Many of our other partners also hold leadership positions with bar associations throughout China and act as mentors for legal practitioners across the country and as guides for domestic and foreign businesses, imparting substantive legal knowledge as well as practice skills.

Our Responsibility:

As a large-scale full service law firm, Zhong Lun pays special attention to social responsibility and public feedback. In the early days, Zhong Lun conscientiously joined a number of social welfare causes. The Zhong Lun Charity Foundation was established on 7 May 2014 with the approval of Beijing Civil Affairs Bureau. Formerly established as a charitable fund inside Zhong Lun in early 2010, the foundation has evolved through the years. Thanks to the tireless efforts of Zhong Lun’s partners, associates and staff, the foundation has grown into an official charity with increased fundraising, enlarged and diversified operations, improved governance and project management, and a full set of well-established policies and rules.

World Law Group:

By establishing multi-dimensional and multi-channel rapport with overseas law firms, Zhong Lun has built a diversified and far-reaching global platform to more effectively provide clients with comprehensive and one-stop legal services. Zhong Lun is the only law firm in China that has joined the World Law Group.
