Zhong Lun Makes to the “2025 ALB China Regional Ranking: Yangtze River Delta Region” List
On October 17, 2025, Asian Legal Business (ALB) announced the “2025 ALB China Regional Ranking: Yangtze River Delta Region” list. Zhong Lun was once again honored in the category of “Non-local Law Firms”, and Mark Gao, partner of Zhong Lun, was recognized as one of the “Rising Lawyers - Non-local Law Firms”.
The Yangtze River Delta (YRD), a pivotal economic hub in China, has demonstrated strong development resilience in the face of market fluctuations. Leveraging Zhong Lun's integrated platform advantages, Zhong Lun's Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Nanjing offices adapt to the economic traits of the YRD and evolving development trends of new business formats. Through multi-dimensional presence and efficient collaboration, they provide high-quality, diversified, and full-stack comprehensive legal services informed by innovative service models, enabling businesses to better handle dynamic landscapes and emerging challenges and achieve sustained development during these transformative times.
Over his 16 years of practice, Mr. Gao has been focusing on tax and wealth planning. He holds both the PRC Lawyer Qualification Certificate and the Tax Advisor Qualification Certificate. His practice mainly covers tax consulting and planning, tax dispute resolution, and the establishment of onshore and offshore family trusts for high-net-worth individuals. Mr. Gao also serves as a tax and legal advisor to many top single-family offices, providing cross-border tax and wealth management services for several well-known families. For years, he has been consistently recommended by authoritative media such as Chambers and The Legal 500, making him one of the few young lawyers recognized for expertise in both tax and wealth planning.
The research scope of ALB’s YRD regional rankings covers four major regions: Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Anhui. For these rankings, ALB assesses law firms comprehensively in terms of firm profile, professional capabilities, service portfolio, client relationships, and development trajectory. The final selection highlights top-performing law firms and lawyers in the region.
