On May 20, 2025, Asian Legal Business (ALB) released the results of its "2025 ALB China IP Rankings". Lifang announced as a Tier 1 law firm in both "Patent" and "Copyright/Trademark" categories. This success highlights our strong legal services and broad market recognition in intellectual property. More significantly, it marks the sixth consecutive year since 2020 that Lifang has achieved the highest ranking in these two categories, underscoring its excellence in the field of intellectual property.

Lifang & Partners is one of the few go-to firms for high-profile intellectual property issues in China. Many of our qualified lawyers have also had a technical or scientific education. A blend of diverse academic achievements and rich career experiences helps us to quickly understand our clients' complex legal, business, and public policy challenges, allowing us to offer practical legal solutions. We encourage our lawyers to combine their academic knowledge with their practical experience to provide efficient, high-quality legal services.
