DaHui Lawyers recognised as top PRC law firm

MSI’s China law member DaHui Lawyers is delighted to announce that Chambers and Partners as well as Legal 500 have ranked a number of the firm’s practice areas and attorneys among the top PRC firms and lawyers.

DaHui has also established an international tax group, with a new partner coming from Ernst and Young, as well as welcoming two partners lateraling from international law firms. DaHui continues to contribute practice guides on the most cutting-edge areas to Chambers and other renowned media platforms.
Every year, DaHui and many of its lawyers are ranked by the premier legal research and ranking organizations. This year, in Chambers’ inaugural Greater China Region rankings, DaHui was recognized as a leading PRC law firm in TMT, Data Protection, Corporate/M&A, Energy, PE, Antitrust and Dispute Resolution. Coupled with being one of four Chinese firms featured in Chambers’ most recent FinTech Guide, we are one of just two PRC firms that are ranked by Chambers in all three core practice areas for the IT industry, i.e., TMT, Data Protection and FinTech. Six DaHui partners were ranked by Chambers in the Greater China Region, including managing partner Richard Ma (for TMT, Data Protection, and Corporate/M&A), Brendon Wu (for TMT and PE), Zheng Zha (for Corporate/M&A), Arthur Ma and Xing Wan (for Arbitration and Litigation, respectively), and Jie Tong (for Competition/Antitrust). DaHui boasts the highest ratio of rankings to lawyers. In addition, no less than 13 of DaHui’s practices were ranked in Legal 500’s Asia Pacific Guide 2022 Edition, namely, Antitrust and Competition, Corporate and M&A, Data Protection, Dispute Resolution (Arbitration and Litigation), Fintech, Intellectual Property, Investment Funds, Labor and Employment, Private Equity/Venture Capital, Regulatory/Compliance, Restructuring and Insolvency, and Technology, Media & Telecoms. Legal 500 also specifically recommended 21 of our lawyers. As recognition and demand for DaHui increases, we have been growing our ranks and offering. Last year, we welcomed Mei Zhang, who previously worked on both the US and Mainland China side of Ernst and Young, and as a partner of DaHui she has led the establishment of our group dedicated to providing international tax and corporate support services. This year, Lucy Lu and Zhengwei Yang joined as partners, the former from Morrison and Foerster (after racking up 18 years practicing at international law firms) and the latter from Baker & McKenzie Fenxun, reinforcing DaHui’s cross-border investment, M&A, compliance and crisis management practice groups. We also promoted Edward Lu to partner, after his joining last year from Fangda Partners, strengthening our dispute resolution and crisis management groups. While DaHui takes on more lawyers, clients and work, we remain committed to the advance of law and legal knowledge in China more generally. As regular contributors to practice guides, commentaries, etc. of high-end media publications, recently DaHui was honored to produce the China Trends and Developments chapter of Chambers’ 2022 Global Guide on Technology M&A as well as the (forthcoming) China Law and Practice and Trends and Developments chapters for Chambers’ 2022 Global Guide on Technology, Media and Telecommunications.
