Driven by the accelerated evolution of the global business landscape, our firm has always been committed to developing a more comprehensive legal service system based on its industry expertise. Recently, we officially announced our membership of Ally Law, becoming the exclusive member in Chinese mainland. This is a key milestone in Chance Bridge's internationalisation strategy and marks a substantial step forward in integrating global legal resources to serve clients' cross-border development needs.
