Hiways Law Firm, a prominent company in China's legal sector and a staple on the ALB China Top 30 Largest Law Firms list for the past decade, has launched a new branch in Shanghai's Hongqiao International Central Legal-services District in the Hongqiao International Central Business District.
This strategic move underscores Hongqiao's rising status as a key business hub, offering enhanced legal services for innovation, manufacturing R&D and global ventures.
Hongqiao's dynamic business environment and thriving industrial presence make it an ideal location for high-quality legal services. A representative from Hiways commended the district's supportive business climate and acknowledged local government efforts in providing seamless policy guidance and administrative assistance.
The new branch will focus on emerging sectors like technology innovation, new energy and equity investment, while continuing to excel in corporate compliance and dispute resolution. By attracting top legal talent, Hiways aims to deliver superior services to local enterprises.
With eight overseas offices, Hiways plans to strengthen its international legal teams at the Hongqiao branch. This will bolster connections with its global offices, providing expert support to businesses in the district and the Yangtze River Delta region as they expand internationally. This effort aligns with Hongqiao's ambition to become a leading hub for international legal services.
Since its inception in September 2021, the Hongqiao International Central Legal-services District has attracted 185 legal service institutions, creating a robust legal ecosystem. As Hongqiao's legal landscape becomes increasingly defined, it is positioned as a prime area for business growth and a model for a rule-of-law business environment, continuing to attract top-tier legal institutions.
