Chambers Asia 2009 Rankings: Best Antitrust Lawyers in China

Posted by D. Daniel Sokol

Chambers new ranking for Asia based lawyers has not one but two categories for best antitrust/competition lawyers in China-- a remarkable list given that the AML has been in place for less than a year.  Moreover, in checking the website bios of a number of practitioners on this list, a number of these practitioners seem to be law generalists in corporate/M&A rather than antitrust specialists so unlike the US or UK Chamber rankings, I would treat the Chinese rankings cautiously.
