Zhao Sheng Law Firm, which last year entered into a Shanghai Free Trade Zone joint operation with Linklaters in April 2018, has opened a branch in Beijing. 

The six-lawyer Beijing office, headed by Eric Liu, will enable Zhao Sheng to offer a full range of PRC law services from Beijing to meet the demands of the firm’s client base in China’s capital. The location will also prove Zhao Sheng proximity to key commercial regulators, with the opportunity to further strengthen relationships. 

Through its Shanghai FTZ joint operation, Zhao Sheng has advised clients like COSCO, UBS, China Development Bank and China Merchants Group.

Linklaters and Zhao Sheng is the fifth joint operation in the Shanghai FTZ, after Baker McKenzie and FenXun Partners, HFW and Wintell & Co, Hogan Lovells and Fidelity Law Firm, and Guantao Law Firm and Ashurst.
