Throughout the conference, Zhong Lun’s lawyers combined grounded Chinese legal practice with a global outlook, actively participating in panel discussions on artificial intelligence, e-commerce, cross-border transactions, employment, and technology taxation. Through these professional dialogues, the team engaged in mutual learning and exchange with peers from around the globe.
On October 6, Zhong Lun hosted a networking breakfast at 1 Hotel Copenhagen, bringing together more than 400 legal professionals from over 50 countries and regions. This event provided an effective channel for face-to-face communication, further deepening the connections between Chinese lawyers and the global legal community.
