经过40余年的发展，中国的法律服务市场日益壮大，在亚洲和国际舞台上扮演着亮眼的角色。在中国法律服务市场整体发展的同时，我们也看到中国的区域性法律市场上发生的巨大变化，扎根于当地市场或谋求全国/全球布局的本土律所，规模律所的区域性办公室，都在引领区域性法律市场向前发展。

ALB通过一系列区域市场排名聚焦于中国快速发展的区域法律市场，ALB的区域市场排名将分别通过律所、律师新星、及客户首选律师三个部分，多维度深入关注和聚焦区域市场上实力雄厚、成绩斐然、表现亮眼的杰出律所，区域法律市场上有雄心、有潜力、有卓越表现和良好口碑、正在快速成长为未来业内领军人物的青年律师，以及凭借精湛的专业技能，尽职敬业的态度、优质高效的服务深受客户青睐、赢得客户褒奖与认可的优秀律师。我们希望通过该排名，呈现中国区域性法律市场上律所的专业实力、发展策略，吸引更多的目光。
