OUR RESEARCH

  • Firms are being contacted in August-September 2019 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.
