THE Law Society of England & Wales is forging a new strategic relationship with lawyers in Shanghai.
President Paul Marsh went to the Far East on Saturday for a tour of China and Hong Kong.
He will highlight London’s role as an “unrivalled centre for international dispute resolution” and to sign a strategic agreement with the Shanghai Bar which will see English solicitors delivering training to Chinese law firms over the coming years in key areas of international practice.
Although growth in the Chinese economy has slowed sharply, like most of the rapidly growing BRIC (Brazil, Russian, Indian and Chinese) economies it continues to attract considerable interest from overseas businesses and the law firms that support them.
