Here’s their press release on the subject
Hogan Lovells is one of very few major international law firms to enter into association in the China (Shanghai) Free Trade Zone (“FTZ“), following approval by the Shanghai Municipal Justice Bureau on 30 September 2016.
Established with PRC law firm Fujian Fidelity Law Firm (“Fidelity“), the association allows us to offer integrated international and domestic Chinese legal advice to local and international businesses operating in China. We are able to advise on contentious and non-contentious Chinese law matters, expanding on our considerable international capabilities.
Under Chinese regulations, Hogan Lovells and Fidelity remain as two separate legal entities in a contractual association. The association itself operates out of Fidelity’s office in the Shanghai FTZ.
