Lifang & Partners is one of China’s first firms involved in merger control filing. Since 2007, our lawyers have been involved in a great number of cases and acquired extensive experiences in merger control filing. We have handled more than one hundred merger control filings. Being actively involved in merger control filings, we have witnessed and participated in the progress of China’s antitrust practice from the birth of the Anti-monopoly Law to its implementation. We have also in the course built good relationships with China’s antitrust authority. Therefore, we are in a solid position to provide timely, all-round and efficient legal services in antitrust matters.
