During the outbreak of COVID-19 in China this year, the nation’s law firms came of age in their responses to supporting those who held the frontlines in the battle against the deadly virus. Charlie Wu explores the sense of social responsibility shown by firms and lawyers in the nation’s hour of need

As the Chinese saying goes: “When disaster strikes, help can come from all sides.” In recent months, the progress of prevention and control of the COVID-19 virus has weighed on the hearts and minds of everyone, and working together to fight against the outbreak has become a common responsibility for society.

China Business Law Journal has donated RMB100,000 (US$14,150) to Shanghai Charity Foundation and Huashan Hospital to help the people on the frontline against this pandemic. Many law firms and corporations have extended their helping hands as well.

Law firms have responded positively to the call of “standing together to fight against the pandemic”, demonstrating a strong sense of social responsibility as legal practitioners. In order to shine a light on their considerable efforts, China Business Law Journal’s editorial team has compiled the ideas and actions of law firms towards the prevention and control of COVID-19, demonstrating their dedication and practical support during these challenging times.

The increasing social responsibility of Chinese law firms is an important indicator of the sustainable development of the nation’s legal market. As Bai Gang, chief partner of Wanhuida Intellectual Property Agency, says, COVID-19 has shown that people who unite together are invincible.

“No one, or a company, or even a country can stand away from this alone,” says Bai. “In the current situation, people are supporting and helping each other across regions, industries, races and national boundaries. Helping others is also helping ourselves, and shouldering the responsibility together is the fundamental spirit of charity.
