The annual awards of "China Business Law" are widely regarded as a reference reflecting the legal service quality and clients' satisfaction of China law firms and lawyers. According to China Business Law Journal, the decisions of their editorial team are based on thousands of votes and recommendations received from in-house counsel, other senior corporate executives and legal professionals from around the world, as well as hundreds of submissions from Chinese and international law firms. To determine the winning firms, they carefully evaluated each firm's landmark deals, cases and other notable achievements in the past year, in conjunction with the recommendations and comments they received.
