Our China Team on the Past Decade – and the Next

Quinn Emanuel is celebrating a decade in mainland China, not as a ceremonial nod but as a mark of our dedication to fighting – and winning – for our clients. Below, Global Co-Managing Partners Mike Carlinsky and Bill Burck join our China partners to talk about the dynamic global rise of Chinese companies and their urgent need for world-class representation in their legal disputes – a need that Quinn Emanuel has met, and embraced, over the past 10 years. The team talks about the next decade, too.

昆鹰庆祝中国大陆代表处成立十周年。这不仅是一次象征性的纪念，更彰显了我们始终致力于为客户全力奋战、赢得胜利的决心。在下方视频中，昆鹰全球联席管理合伙人Mike Carlinsky和Bill Burck与中国团队合伙人共同探讨了中国企业在全球市场的迅速崛起，以及随之而来的对世界一流争议解决法律服务的迫切需求。过去十年来，昆鹰始终积极回应并切实满足了这一需求。视频中，昆鹰团队还展望了未来十年的发展。

The bottom line: Chinese clients need the best trial lawyers in the world, who also understand Chinese business culture and sensitivities, and Quinn Emanuel is the bridge between those business realities and the international legal system.

一言以蔽之，中国客户需要的律师既要自身是世界顶尖的庭审律师，同时还必须深刻理解中国的商业文化及其特有的实际情况。昆鹰正是连接中国企业的商业现实与国际法律体系的桥梁。

As Chinese companies have expanded across international markets in the past 10 years, cross-border disputes have become more common and more complex. Drawing on a decade of litigation and arbitration work from Quinn Emanuel’s offices in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong SAR, we’ve identified five critical shifts that are reshaping cross-border litigation. We think Chinese companies and their advisers should incorporate these game-changing shifts in their international dispute planning, and we invite you to consider the executive summary below.
