Firm overview

Established in 1992, Beijing Dacheng Law Offices, LLP is one of the earliest and largest partnership law firms in China. Guided by the cultural core philosophy of "upholding ambitious vision to embrace diversity, take great strides, and achieve greatness" as well as the open development strategy of "global resources, local wisdom", Dacheng has consistently committed to delivering professional, comprehensive, timely, reliable and efficient legal services to clients worldwide.

Over the development course of more than three decades, Dacheng has transformed into a standardized, well-established, professional, branded, and internationally-focused comprehensive law firm. With 48 offices throughout China, we serve across all provinces, autonomous regions, and directly administered municipalities. Moreover, we have established a preferred cooperation relationship with Dentons, the world's largest law firm with over 160 offices in more than 80 countries around the globe.

Founded in 2001, Dacheng Shanghai is among the first partnership law firms in Shanghai. By constantly enhancing localization advantages and lawyer competence, we stand out as an important legal service team in Shanghai's lawyer community. Currently, we have around 800 employees, including more than 500 practicing lawyers. Nearly half of the practicing lawyers are multilingual lawyers who have graduated from prestigious foreign law schools or have worked abroad. In recognition of our reliable legal services and exceptional capabilities, we were successively awarded such honorary titles as “National Advanced Party Organization of the Lawyer Profession”, “Top 10 Law Firms in Shanghai” and “Outstanding Law Firm in Shanghai”.
