China Law & Practice Awards 2013 – Recognising China's elite
May 28, 2013 | BY
clpstaffThe research process for this year's China Law & Practice Awards has already begun. With more categories than ever before and for the first time individual awards, do not miss the chance to participate
Welcome to China's most prestigious legal awards.
The China Law & Practice Awards recognise innovation, complexity and market impact. Now in its eighth year, the awards process is known for its comprehensiveness and objectivity. The selection of finalists is based on the extent to which their work has influenced the legal market and benefited the quality and development of China's legal landscape. The choice of winners will be based on the extent to which work has blazed a trail: perhaps by incorporating original, progressive legal structures, or by testing new legislation.
After the success of last year's awards and from speaking with market participants, China Law & Practice has expanded the firm of the year categories to include trade, anti-bribery and corruption, automotive, insurance and life sciences. In addition, for the first time ever, China Law & Practice Awards will honour individual lawyers for their contribution in a specific practice area.
