Our Research 

Firms are contacted in August-September 2017 and asked to provide partner and lawyer numbers across their Asian offices. 

In the instance where a firm does not make a submission, figures will be obtained either from the firm’s website, an official Law Society resource, or from last year’s submission. ALB accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of information published on a law firm’s website. 

  • Only lawyers and partners based in Asia will be counted.
  • The research does not cover Australia and New Zealand. 

For China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Taiwan, please send submissions to John Kang at john.kang@thomsonreuters.com. 

For India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, please send submissions to Raj Gunashekar at raj.gunashekar@thomsonreuters.com. 

For PRC firms, please also email TRALB.Ranking@thomsonreuters.com 

The deadline for submission is FridaySeptember 1, 2017. 

The ALB Top 50 Largest Law Firms 2017 rankings will be published in ALB’s November 2017 issue.
