Duan & Duan acquires fame in the surname of two founder members which means implicate co-operation, teamwork and turn upward. She is one of the first few private partnership law firms established in Shanghai in 1993. She is also one of pioneers in Chinese mainland law firms who started to penetrate the international legal praictice. Now she has established the network services covering the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Detla and Bohai Rim Region, including offices in Hong Kong and Seattle, USA. Two founders working in Hong Kong since 1980’s, they got professional legal experience in Hong Kong. They realized that due to PRC’s reformation and openning-up policy, there should be great demand for the legal services between Mainland and Hong Kong. Therefore Duan & Duan was the first group of mainland law firms allowed to set up an office and practice in Hong Kong.
