ALB will identify China’s leading general counsel in its inaugural Top General Counsel Rankings 2016, which will be published in June. The submissions are open to all general counsel or head of legal affairs based in China.
The research will be conducted through the following aspects:
1. Self-nomination forms for general counsel. In-house teams or the general counsel can fill out the submission form (as attached) and hand it in to research team at TRALB.Ranking@thomsonreuters.com.
2. Private practice lawyers in China are invited to fill out a survey in which they can recommend general counsel for the ranking. Responses will be kept anonymous.
3. We will also take into account peer commentary, market feedback and ALB editorial input. Interviews will be conducted by ALB if necessary.
Some of the key qualities we are looking for are:
• Scope and significance of work handled by the general counsel
• Any significant initiatives launched by the general counsel in his/her current role
• Feedback of GC’s work from business partners
• Years of experience and previous work history
• Awards and accolades
• Other relevant information (including, but not limited to, pro-bono work, charity work, social service, etc.)
The deadline for submissions (as attached) and survey (here) is Friday, April 29.
Submission forms can be handed in by the GC, the assistant or in-house team. Only one entry is allowed per organization. The form can be filled in Chinese, English or both. Please submit the form to TRALB.Ranking@thomsonreuters.com.
