On January 23, 2024, the President of The Law Society of England and Wales, Mr. Nick Emmerson, visited Llinks Shanghai Office with his delegation. The purpose of the visit was to discuss the current state and future trends of the international legal services market.
Llinks London and Shanghai partners Ms. Yuhua Yang, Mr. Peiming Yang, Ms. Selena She, and Ms. Cathy Huang received the delegation and participated in the discussion.
The partners of Llinks warmly welcomed the Society's visit to Shanghai and shared the recent developments in the field of international legal services. They discussed the possibilities of expanding the international legal services market further, especially in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region post-pandemic scenario.
Mr. Emmerson praised the strong relationship between Llinks and the Society and introduced the Society's mission to serve over 160,000 British solicitors who practice globally. The global legal services market has undergone significant changes in recent years due to the international political and economic situation and the rise of artificial intelligence. As one of the oldest law societies in the world, the Society's professional experience and expertise in legal services has a significant impact on the development of the global legal services market. Mr. Emmerson expressed his hope to maintain closer and more extensive contacts with law firms in the Chinese Mainland in the future to strengthen international legal services exchanges and cooperation and to jointly contribute to the professional strength of the international legal services industry.
Llinks is a law firm that frequently engages in cross-border business and has established long-term cooperative relationships with over 100 law firms in global and regional economic centers, financial centers, and major cities. In the field of cross-border legal services, Llinks collaborates with overseas partners to provide high-quality legal services to clients globally across jurisdictions despite time differences.
Llinks regularly provides legal services to both international and Chinese corporate clients in high-profile, complex and diversified cross-border projects, and has received extensive client praise and market acclaim. Llinks actively participates in international economic and trade co-operation and major rule-of-law work, advises on foreign-related legislative amendments, participates in meetings of international organizations and provides legal opinions on major foreign-related cases.
The discussion ended in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere. Both parties expect further exchanges and cooperation.
