Yingke—the world's largest law firm by headcount—formally opened in London this week, and set out an ambition to have 100 offices outside of China by 2026.

The Chinese law firm currently has 53 directly-operated offices in 41 countries around the world. Launching its London office at an event hosted by the Law Society of England & Wales this week, the firm said it wants to nearly double the number of offices in the next 15 months.
