Methodology

Our research:

• Firms were contacted in September 2013 and asked to provide partner and lawyer numbers across their operations in Asia.

• Total fee-earners equals the total number of associates, partners, counsel, foreign counsel and consultants. Trainees or pupils are not counted among fee-earners.

• Where firms do not supply lawyer numbers, information will be taken from their websites. ALB accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of information published on a law firm’s website.

• In the case of international law firms, only lawyers and partners based in Asia will be counted.

• Where two firms have the same headcount figure, the firm with the higher number of partners will be ranked higher.

• This research does not cover Australia and New Zealand.

Our rankings:

• The ranking will have one main table identifying the 50 largest law firms in Asia.

• We will also provide separate tables for the following jurisdictions: China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

• The rankings will include domestic and international firms.
