On October 15, 2024, China Business Law Journal ("CBLJ") announced the winners of its China Business Law Awards 2024 Regional Awards. Han Kun was honored in the following three regions, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong:
China Business Law Awards (Regional Awards)
Best Overall Law Firms (Shanghai)
Best Overall Law Firms (Shenzhen)
Best Overall Law Firms (Hong Kong)
To determine the winners, CBLJ's editorial team looked carefully at each firm's landmark deals and cases, as well as other notable achievements in the past year, which were evaluated carefully in combination with the nominations and comments from in-house counsel and management decision-makers to highlight the unique characteristics and expertise of different firms. For the purpose of these awards, each region category is divided into "Branch office" and "Home-grown" law firms. All headquarters of different national law firms are classified as "Home-grown" as they have grown up on a path and been immersed in a culture similar to that of local firms.
This year, at CBLJ's 2024 China Business Law Awards, Han Kun was presented with the "Golden League" award, the most prestigious CBLJ honor for Chinese law firms, and was highlighted as a "Firm of the Year" in 12 practice areas/industry sectors. As in previous years, the regional awards do not include the headquarters of the Chinese law firms that were Golden League winners in the China Business Law Awards 2024.
