OUR RANKINGS

• ALB will also compile separate tables identifying the largest law firms by headcount in the following jurisdictions: China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
• The following jurisdictions will have separate tables for domestic firms and international firms: China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea.

OUR RESEARCH

• Firms are being contacted in May-July 2022 and asked to provide partner and lawyer numbers across their Asian offices.
• In the instance where a firm does not make a submission or respond to our repeated requests for numbers, figures will be obtained either from the firm’s website, an official Law Society resource or from last year’s submission. ALB accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of information published on a law firm’s website.
• Only lawyers and partners based in Asia will be counted.
• The research does not cover Australia and New Zealand.
