China has 11,000 law firms throughout the country, 70 percent of which, or 7,770, are owned by lawyers, according to the Ministry of Justice. In the past, all Chinese law firms were run by the government, under central, provincial or local justice departments. In recent years, however, the government has launched a reform for the management of lawyers in accordance with international practice. Under the present law, a law firm has to be operated by at least three lawyers who have practiced for five years and longer, and more than 100 overseas law firms have been allowed to open offices in cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. According to the ministry, some of the new domestic firms are not well managed and are not operating in accordance with law, because they do not work as a team but as separate individuals. It urged lawyers to "abide by law and professional ethics." Efforts will be made by the government to regularize the operation of law firms and bring the activities of lawyers under control, the ministry said. It says 2005 will be a year for standardizing the management of law firms that have adopted partnerships. |
