On May 21, 2021, Thomson Reuters’ high-end legal media “Asian Legal Business” (ALB) announced the “2021 ALB China Regional Market Ranking: Southern China Firms”. This is the first time that ALB focuses on the regional legal market by way of regional market ranking. Based on its outstanding performance in the Southern China regional market, Tahota Law Firm was selected into the list.

When the selection was launched, ALB stated that with more than 40 years of reform and opening up, China’s legal market was growing rapidly and the regional legal market was also moving forward. Through this very first regional legal market ranking, ALB China focused on the outstanding law firms with strong strength, outstanding achievements and outstanding performance headquartered in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Hainan or with branches in the above regions. ALB’s professional research team would carry out selection and ranking based on the law firm’s basic information, professional strength, business layout, customer relationship and development path, so as to showcase the law firms’ professional strength and development strategy in China regional market. 

The “South China Economic Circle” has always been the core of China’s economic circle. The four provinces of South China not only have unique economic forms, but also have their own legal markets that provide services for the economy. Tahota has always taken its business development in South China as one of its key layouts: 

◆In June 2007, Tahota Shenzhen Office was established. It was Tahota’s first office in South China, and also an important step Tahota took in deepening and advancing its strategic development layout.

◆In May 2020, Tahota Haikou Office was established, which demonstrated the great determination of Tahota to closely follow China’s policy to further carry out reform and opening up and participate in the development of the legal service market of Hainan Free Trade Port. 

◆In April 2021, Tahota Fuzhou Office was established, which further strengthened Tahota’s strategic layout in South China. The South China team of Tahota was further expanded and its service capabilities were also enhanced.

◆In May 2021, Tahota Guangzhou Office has just been approved for establishment. This is Tahota’s first strategic layout to set up offices in the two cities of the same province. Guangzhou and Shenzhen will work together to create a legal services community in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, which will surely promote Tahota’s development in South China!

The comprehensive layout of Tahota’s offices in Shenzhen, Haikou, Fuzhou and Guangzhou has provided a systematic coverage of the legal service market in South China and further strengthened Tahota’s legal service capabilities in this region. With the reinforcement of policies for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Hainan Free Trade Port, Tahota will continue to strengthen its regional strength in the South China region. At the same time, based on the integrated platform with unified and shared resources, Tahota will be committed to building a cross-regional and cross-jurisdictional global lawyer cooperation platform, so as to provide more valuable legal services for our clients in the world.
