Lovells is delighted to announce the launch of the Sino-Global Legal Alliance's new website.
Commenting on the website, Lovells' Beijing Managing Partner and Chairman of the SGLA, Robert Lewis said:
"We hope the website will provide our international clients with the information they need to work with the SGLA in China.
Over the course of the past year we have seen a tremendous interest in the SGLA, which has yielded an impressive deal flow for us and the member firms.
The website represents the second stage of developing the SGLA - whilst we still need to communicate our value proposition, one year since launch we are able to demonstrate this with tangible examples.
We look forward to developing the website to add more value for our clients. The highly acclaimed SGLA Law Journal will be made available as an e-version through the website next year."
