Who is published for New York?
This page currently shows 3 published profiles covering Company Formation (2), Dispute Resolution (1). Open a profile for firm, language, and directory status, then confirm admission and scope with counsel.
When does a New York matter also need a PRC lawyer?
Counsel admitted in United States should lead on United States law. Add PRC counsel when the file includes a China company, approval, tax, data transfer, employment, evidence, or enforcement step. Do not assume one profile covers both.
What if the New York list is too narrow?
Use the United States directory for more published profiles. Match the practice on the profile to the China-side issue rather than the city name alone.
