Lehman Lee & Xu chosen as winner of 2011 Chinese - Full Service Law Firm of the Year Award

Beijing, China - September 24, 2011 - Throughout July and August of this year Global Law Experts conducted its extensive nomination and research process for the 2011 Global Law Experts Practice Area Awards. Earlier this month the awards panel convened and the winners of this year’s winners were selected.

Lehman Lee & Xu have been chosen as the winner of the 2011 Chinese - Full Service Law Firm of the Year Award.

During the recommendation stages over 14,000 responses were received from business directors, in-house counsel, independent law firms, high net-worth individuals, bar associations, visitors to the GLE website and LinkedIn users. These recommendations were combined with GLE’s own independent research to create a shortlist of firms for each key country and practice area.

The 2011 Awards Panel met earlier this month to discuss the shortlisted firms and reach a decision regarding this year’s winners. The shortlisted firms were judged on client testimonials, key cases from the past 12 months, legal rankings, overall reputation, publication contribution, speaking engagements and the performance and standing of the team’s individual attorneys.

The Full Service Law Firm of the Year award for China was particularly close this year, but Lehman Lee & Xu received the most nominations of any firm in this category.
