Firm Overview
AllBright Law Offices was founded in 1999 as a full-service law firm committed to providing the highest levels of quality advice to clients.
Based in Shanghai, AllBright has grown, innovated and provided unmatched service throughout a period of continuous economic and political change across China. Our focus on providing excellent advice and support to our clients has led to rapid expansion and we have established branch offices in 20 cities on the Chinese mainland (Hangzhou, Beijing, Shenzhen, Suzhou, Nanjing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Taiyuan, Qingdao, Tianjin, Xiamen, Jinan, Hefei, Zhengzhou, Fuzhou, Nanchang, Xi’an, Guangzhou, Changchun, and Wuhan) as well as in Hong Kong and London. As a result of our increased international presence we have also established an association with the Hong Kong law firm Stevenson Wong & Co, and a strategic partnership with the English firm Bird & Bird.
AllBright carries on the proud cosmopolitan culture of Shanghai and constantly seeks to bring together established legal professionals and outstanding young talent. In 2017, our team included nearly 2,000 lawyers, which grew to more than 2,300 in 2018, and now stands at over 2,600. This growth is a reflection of the importance we place on driving innovation, creating value for our clients and providing a global service for our clients.
Legal Team
At AllBright, our team of lawyers is not only professional and qualified, but provides rich insights into the legal industry and the meaning and logic of business regulations. Therefore, we have a deep understanding of the application of laws and regulations, government approval processes, regulatory requirements, and many other complex legal procedures. This allows us to provide effective solutions for clients.
Currently, AllBright has more than 600 partners (including international legal consultants) and more than 2,600 practising lawyers.

In addition to Chinese (Mandarin, Shanghainese, and Cantonese) we use in our everyday work, many AllBright lawyers are fluent in English, Japanese, German, French, and other major languages, and are qualified to practise in the US, UK, France, Japan, and other countries.
AllBright partners (including international legal consultants) possess a wealth of work experience. Many are commercial lawyers who have worked at top international law firms or large multinational corporations for many years.
