13 ASIAN LEGAL BUSINESS CHINA • 亚洲法律杂志-中国版 WWW.LEGALBUSINESSONLINE.COM/CHINA COVER STORY were paused for two months from spring to summer last year, while other cities were also affected by the pandemic to varying degrees. This impact can be said to have continued until the beginning of this year. Against this backdrop, one commonality among the 15 winning firms this time is that they have all successfully withstood the shock of the external environment, and that their annual revenue has bucked the trend of declining to register growth. Based in the epicenter of this storm, Ronly & Tenwen Partners saw a decline in business volume during the lockdown. Once the lockdown was lifted, however, all lawyers made extra efforts to catch up and business volume rebounded rapidly. Such rebound is inseparable from the rapid growth of the firm in recent times. “In recent years, we have maintained steady annual growth of 20 percent in our team,” says Pan Dingchun, director of Ronly & Tenwen. With the increase in the number of offices and colleagues, the reputation of the firm has been continuously consolidated, and revenue has also increased significantly. “Expansion at this speed proves to be working for us and has achieved good results.” According to Pan, Ronly & Tenwen added six offices in Shanghai Lingang, Beijing, Guangzhou, Suzhou, Changzhou and South Korea over the past 12 months, Before this, the firm only had offices in Hangzhou, Haikou and Taicang apart from its Shanghai headquarters. Beijing JAVY Law Firm is another firm that achieved growth in the number of lawyers, the number of offices and business turnover in the past 12 months. “The past three years saw our rapid development amid the outbreak and resurgence of the pandemic. JAVY created new opportunities despite the crisis, forged new grounds amid fluid situations, and achieved excellent results on multiple fronts,” says Cao Chunfang, deputy director and founding partner of JAVY. JAVY registered a year-on-year increase of 60 percent in its number of lawyers and staff to reach nearly 400, and added offices in Shanghai, Chongqing, Fuzhou, Nanning and Zaozhuang, with preparations ongoing for establishing presence in Tianjin, Taiyuan, Wuhan, Shenzhen and Hangzhou. In March this year, the firm rented a new building for its Beijing headquarters, doubling its office space to nearly 6,000 square meters in two detached buildings. “This has improved not only our work environment, but also our overall service capability and comprehensive strength.” On the other hand, Jiang Qi, chairman of the National Board of Directors of Beijing Hylands Law Firm, shares that apart from the pandemic, complex international political and economic dynamics since last year, such as the global economic recession, the power play between China and the United States, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, have collectively resulted in a period of relative stagnation 创建于2007年，十多年的磨砺，公司化的管理、专业化的分工，格联律师事务所逐渐发展成为一家为世界客户提 供中国视野、为中国客户提供全球方案的国际化律师事务所。我们在上海、北京、成都、广东等全国各地的办公室，使 我们在地域上能够有效链接中国核心经济圈，我们有来自于国内外知名法学院校的数百名专业人员，以及我们全所 统一管理的一体化对外服务理念，使我们在经济活动越来越多样性的今天，不仅在海事海商、知识产权、跨境并购、复 杂商事诉讼仲裁等传统领域保持持续的竞争力，更使我们在区块链和大数据、金融刑事辩护与刑事合规、文娱体育等 新兴领域展现出独树一帜的深度服务能力。 得益于我们的律师在基金、证券、信托、融资租赁等金融类行业，以及船舶航运、医药、消费、互联网、集成电路等 标杆性非金融行业的丰富经验、深度理解和创新能力，我们的客户将极其复杂的商业交易、极为疑难的重大诉讼、极 富挑战的新颖课题交给我们处理。 格联律师事务所必将在时代的选择下迈向新的征程 Founded in 2007, after over one decade hardworking, through corporate-style management and expertised division, Glinks Law Firm has grown to be an internationalized law firm providing its worldwide clients with China vision and its Chinese clients with global solution.
