Established in 2001, Anli Partners is a law firm specializing in a comprehensive range of high-end commercial legal services. The firm has a professional team of over 710 people, including more than 120 partners and senior consultants and over 530 associate lawyers, with offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Nanjing, Zhengzhou, Hohhot, Kunming, Xi’an, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Haikou and Tokyo. We also have long-term cooperative relationships with law firms in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, the United States, Europe and other jurisdictions.

A number of our lawyers took part in the Lord Chancellor’s Training Scheme for Young Chinese Lawyers. This Scheme, which ran for 20 years, was funded by the Lord Chancellor of Great Britain and the Chinese Ministry of Justice. Entry was very competitive and candidates applied from all over China. Every year no more than 15 young Chinese lawyers were selected to go to England. They were given academic training in common law at SOAS, University of London. They then spent several months as interns both in the offices of top firms of solicitors and in barristers’ chambers. As a result， they are familiar with common law principles, and the workings of English solicitors and barristers, and have developed excellent connections with many English lawyers.

We are able to offer lawyers who are fluent in a wide range of languages, including Japanese, German and Russian. We pride ourselves on the high integrity of all our lawyers. Each lawyer specializes in a particular area of practice, and when it comes to cross-disciplinary legal work, we ensure that lawyers from other areas of specialization are available to provide support and work together as a team to provide efficient and high-quality legal services to our clients.

As to our partners, many have more than 20 years of distinguished legal practice. They are drawn from a wide range of backgrounds and bring their knowledge and experience from these to augment their work for the firm. Some have served as judges, prosecutors and  police officers. Some have held important positions in government agencies, industry associations and arbitration institutions.  Others have participated in drafting national legislation.  We also have lawyers with outstanding qualifications, such as professors, researchers, senior engineers and senior economists..

In addition to these, Anli employs well-known scholars and professors when necessary as expert consultants to advise on legal applications, government regulatory requirements, and various complex, difficult and cutting-edge legal issues.
