After more than a year of weighing up a possible relationship, Hogan Lovells lawyers say, the firm has finally tied the knot and launched an association with Fujian Fidelity Law Firm in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone (FTZ).

“Various factors have been considered in the decision, including level of commitment, the likelihood of being able to obtain partner buy-in for the association within a reasonable timetable, potential conflicts of interest and business conflict issues, the quality of legal services provided, reputation in the market, recognition of firm values, management structure, and the outcome of financial due diligence and management interactions,” Andrew McGinty, a partner of Hogan Lovells in Shanghai, told Asia Business Law Journal.
