China Business Law Journal is seeking nominations from senior business managers, in-house counsel, lawyers and other legal professionals to identify the elite private practice lawyers in Chinese mainland and Hong Kong, and lawyers elsewhere engaged in China-related works. The final results, to be published across our website, journals and social media, will provide valuable business intelligence to law firm clients and referral partners in China and around the world.
Please CLICK the following button to make your nominations.
The A-List lineup will include three categories: Visionaries, Growth Drivers, and Rising Stars.
We are seeking nominations from:
- In-house counsel and business managers with an interest in the China market and experience of using lawyers located in mainland China and/or Hong Kong.
- Lawyers at Chinese or international law firms with a focus on China-related business.
Please nominate private practice lawyers located in mainland China or Hong Kong, who work in either Chinese or foreign law firms; or located elsewhere, but engaged in China-related work. You are welcome to make as many nominations as you wish. If you would like to nominate more than 10 lawyers, please complete an additional copy of the nomination form. The deadline for making nominations is Wednesday, August 5, 2026.
