Leading property law specialists in China and the UK have formed a new alliance to provide cross-border legal services.
Beiiing Zhong Yin (Shen Zhen) and Maxwell Alves Solicitors say the move is in recognition of the global trend of increasing trade between China and the United Kingdom.
Dr Alan Ma, Founder and Partner of Maxwell Alves, says, “With continuous commitment in conducting UK-China matters, we opened an office in Hong Kong in 2014. Now, in 2015, with the combined talents and resources of Zhong Yin and Maxwell Alves, the alliance commits to offer top tier services for global clients.”
Beijing Zhong Yin Law Firm is one of the first and largest law firms based in China authorised by China Judicial Department to undertake international business. Maxwell Alves is a firm of solicitors and international lawyers with offices in Central London, Edinburgh and Hong Kong.
BeijingZhong Yin has been named by Asian Legal Business (ALB) Magazine as the second fastest growing law firm in China four times and has been ranked top 10 for three years. In 2013, it won the Best Law Firm of the Year in asset securitization and financial derivatives, the Leading Law Firm in China international trade and WTO area, and was chosen as China’s Leading Law Firm by The Chambers Asia.
Dr Yueqi Tan, Managing Senior Partner of Beijing Zhong Yin (Shen Zhen) Law Firm, says, “Zhong Yin presents in a number of major cities outside China but we have no presence in England. Maxwell Alves is a focused firm on UK/China matters. The team is highly talented and knowledgeable.
“Our clients have already had the benefits of their professional services prior entering into this alliance. With the growing activities between UK and China, Zhong Yin / Maxwell Alves alliance is well placed in providing efficient and effective services to clients.”
Dr Alan Ma says, “The formation of this alliance forms part of Maxwell Alves’ determination and commitment in extending our services for clients from outside the English jurisdiction. We have established our Scottish office in 2013, which was followed by opening our Hong Kong office in 2014.
“The alliance of the two law firms in China and the UK is perfect for clients who are looking for legal services of top qualities. With the combined resources and talents, the Zhong Yin / Maxwell Alves alliance commits to offer top tier legal services for global clients.”
