Jun He Law Offices (simplified Chinese: 君合律师事务所; traditional Chinese: 君合律師事務所; pinyin: Jūnhé Lǜshī Shīwùsuǒ) is one of the first law firms established when law firms were first allowed in the People’s Republic of China. To advance its policy of market-based reforms, China adopted foreign approaches to legal regulations, particularly in the area of commercial law. The Sino-Foreign Equity Joint Venture Law, the first law governing foreign investment, was passed in 1980. Since then, more than 300 laws and regulations, most of them in the economic area, have been promulgated. To meet increasing growth in the sophistication of Chinese law, Chinese firms began to incorporate in the late 1980s to meet demand. Jun He Law Offices was one of the first private law firms and currently employs nearly 400 attorneys throughout China, Hong Kong, and the United States. The firm claims it specializes in assisting foreign companies do business in China. [1] The main practice areas of the firm include foreign direct investment, corporate, banking and finance, arbitration, tax, and intellectual property. Jun He Law Offices is known for its small firm feel with big firm capabilities. It prides itself as an innovator in Chinese Law and all the lawyers within the firm have a collective awareness of fudiciary duty. The Firm stands out as unique among Chinese firms because it was one of the first independent firms in China.
