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.
