One of the first partnership law firms in China, King & Wood was established in 1993 by a group of lawyers committed to creating a superlative legal practice and developing modern legal principles in China. Today, King & Wood, headquartered in Beijing with offices in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Xi'an, Hangzhou, Tianjin, Suzhou, Qingdao, Ji'nan, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Silicon Valley and New York, is one of the largest law firms in China. With over 830 lawyers, patent attorneys, and legal professionals, we provide comprehensive legal services to meet the diverse needs of our clients worldwide.
King & Wood believes that the professional qualifications of its lawyers are the key to its success. Over the years, the firm has almost exclusively recruited and hired graduates of prestigious law schools in China and abroad, many of whom have practiced in leading international law firms. The breadth of King & Wood lawyers' expertise is reflected in the scope of our practice, whether in our traditional strengths of banking, project finance, FDI, general corporate, securities, M&A, international trade, and dispute resolution, or in our leading position in the rising areas of intellectual property protection, labor law, anti-trust, corporate compliance, bankruptcy and restructuring, distressed assets, securitization, and LBOs. Over the years, King & Wood has earned an outstanding reputation both in China and abroad.
King & Wood is committed to creating a "one firm" culture, in which our legal professionals draw on expertise and experience spanning practice areas and offices to deliver superior results efficiently. This culture has earned King and Wood an outstanding reputation both in China and abroad. Because of our integrated culture and excellent reputation, we are well positioned to become one of the leading full service law firms in Asia.
Since 2003, King & Wood has enjoyed the benefits of its membership in two strategic alliances: the Pacific Rim Advisory Council and the World Law Group. Our vast network of friends and allies allows us to draw on local expertise and advice throughout the world.
In November of 2007, King & Wood developed a strategic alliance with Australian specialist corporate law firm Gilbert + Tobin.
