Welcome to the Chambers Greater China Region Guide. Search the legal market's best law firms and lawyers using the search functionality above.

As we continuously strive to deliver unparalleled coverage of legal markets across the Greater China Region, we have evolved our research and rankings and are delighted to announce the Chambers Greater China Region 2026 Guide.

The guide brings together extensive, independent in-depth market analysis, and rankings of the leading law firms and professionals across all four jurisdictions of the Greater China Region. It features five exclusive sections: China (International Firms), Hong Kong Bar, China (PRC Firms), Macau SAR and Taiwan Jurisdiction.

Our rankings are based on the unrivalled research conducted by our dedicated and experienced team of researchers, through tens of thousands of one-to-one interviews each year with submitting firm's referees, to help us understand the authentic views and experiences of their clients.

Chambers Greater China Region provides reliable impartial recommendations, to ensure that anyone can make an informed decision when purchasing legal services to suit their needs.

Please see our methodology page if you would like to find out more about how we conduct our research or if you would like to submit to Chambers Greater China Region Guide.

We are delighted to see so many firms and companies participating in our research, ensuring we can have an in-depth understanding of law firms and their practices. However, Chambers prides itself on the independence and impartiality of our research and rankings and therefore we have not authorised, and do not work with, any third-party partner(s) on the research process.

Have your firm stand out in the legal market with a Chambers ranking and connect with potential new clients.

Following the market development and the fast-evolving legal landscape across the region last year, Chambers Greater China Region 2026 Guide is featured with the following new table:

Chambers Greater China Region Guide now features five sections with a structure of contentious and non-contentious sub-sections, including Chongqing, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Sichuan and Zhejiang.

We first introduced this structure last year in Chambers 2024 Guide based on our observation of notable division and interaction between contentious practice and non-contentious practice on the provincial level. The lawyers who advise exclusively on transactions rarely come across those engaged in dispute work. Moreover, clients have more specific requirements of their mandates when sourcing the right firm and lawyer for the job.

The total number of provinces/municipalities that we offer corporate/commercial research and rankings is 27.

We are dedicated to championing the best legal talent, wherever it exists. Driven by the rising amount of law firms participating in our research year on year and by the introduction of new practice areas as our engagement with the markets further strengthens, Chambers research coverage across the Greater China Region remains comprehensive and continues to grow.

The statistics below give a snapshot of the research and rankings of the Greater China Region 2026 Guide.

Our in-depth research runs from February to October.
