Australia’s HopgoodGanim Lawyers has entered into alliances with two Chinese firms: Beijing-based Dacheng Law Offices and Hangzhou-based Zhejiang T&C Law Firm.

The alliance is not exclusive, according to a spokesperson at 124-lawyer HopgoodGanim, but the Australian firm will be referring work and seconding lawyers to each of the Chinese firms, and vice versa. They will also share resources and information about their respective markets.
