Already the country’s largest firm by headcount and number of branches, Dacheng continues to rely on mergers and acquisitions to fuel its growth in the country’s regional centres.

The firm has recently merged with Guangzhou Xin Yang Law Firm. Through its merger, Dacheng has not only strengthened its foothold in Southern China but also gained access Hong Kong as Xin Yang has established a representative office Hong Kong.

In Beijing, Dacheng’s head office has acquired local firm Kingfield and Fengqing over the past 6 months.
