The way we have structured . . . the entire King & Wood Mallesons platform means we’ve got that depth and breadth in capability.” “It is not available to the international firms. “That’s the beauty of the local platform,” says Ms Kench.

'The beauty of the local platform': Sue Kench, global chief executive, King & Wood Mallesonsįirms such as Baker McKenzie, Holman Fenwick Willan, Hogan Lovells, Ashurst and Linklaters have entered into joint agreements with local Chinese firms in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, the only experimental zone of its kind in mainland China, in which international firms are able to deliver Chinese legal advice through a local law firm partner. Different firms have different strategies . . . because you can’t ignore the China market.” “There isn’t one strategy that is necessarily right. “All international firms are generally surveying the scene,” says Mr Kitts. International law firms are banned from giving legal advice and presenting before a Chinese court. Law firms are experimenting with different structures in mainland China, where foreign lawyers are unable to obtain licences to practice law. “These companies are going to want to be represented by international firms, they will not want to be represented by mainland law firms, or for that matter Hong Kong law firms,” says Henry Fan, a lawyer and former managing director of investment company Citic.
