Winston & Strawn has formed a strategic alliance with Chinese law firm Yuanda and is planning to apply for a joint operation in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone.
Shanghai-based Yuanda was previously known as MWE China Law Offices and had been in a strategic alliance with Chicago-based McDermott Will & Emery until recently. The new alliance, known as YuandaWinston, will comprise Winston’s existing Shanghai office and 40-lawyer Yuanda, a full-service firm that specializes in corporate investigations, white-collar defense and cross-border transactions.
