Tahota Law Firm, one of China’s top 15 largest law firms, has expanded its global network with the launch of an office in the Laos capital of Vientiane. The Vientiane office marks the Chengdu-based firm’s fifth overseas outfit after Nepal, Sydney, Washington D.C. and Bangkok. 

Tahota’s latest overseas office launch comes as a number of Chinese law firms have expanded internationally this year, with Beijing-based Jingsh Law Firm having recently begun preparing for the launch of offices in South Korea, North Korea and Japan.
