Chinese legal market presents a steady change in 2017. On the one hand, there is a certain degree of decline in the fields of real estate and foreign exchange related legal services due to government policies; on the other hand, banking, insurance and other industries are looking for appropriate capital outflow, and accordingly the legal business demand of asset backed securitization, fund and asset management involved in this area continues to increase.

In terms of the legal business, with the development of market economy and increasingly frequent exchanges and interactions with foreign countries, the content of legal services has also become more and more plentiful, and consequently foreign cases, finance, maritime affairs, IP, and other aspects of legal issues will proliferate. As a result, a number of lawyers who are specialized in providing high-end services to adapt to China's new situations are in demand.
