全国规模最大律所之一的大成,正通过各种渠道积极开拓其国际业务平台。该所在今年开设了数家海外分支机构,并且与多家国外律师事务所签署合作协议后,已于本月加盟WSG(World Service Group)成为该组织中国地区的唯一成员。

同时,该所还于近期与以色列SHIBOLET&CO(西博雷特)律师事务所正式签署合作协议。双方互为代表机构,将在市场开发、业务拓展等多方面展开合作。根据协议,该所合伙人白尤硕先生将作为西博雷特的中国合伙人入驻大成上海办公室。
Recent events have shown that Dacheng is pursuing international opportunities multifariously. The firm is expanding its global network not only through entering strategic alliances with foreign firms and opening branch offices overseas but also by joining a global professional network.
Dacheng has recently been admitted to the membership of World Services Group (WSG), a global association of professional business services providers such as accounting firms, law firms, and executive search firms. There are more than 130 member firms operating in over 115 countries and throughout the US. Dacheng is currently the group's only member in China and will be the only law firm member in China.
As China emerges as an increasingly important market, more global legal associations are seeking members in China. And with PRC firms and their clients continuing to grow international business, joining global alliances become a more feasible and attractive option for firms to develop. Gaopeng is another firm to recently join a global legal alliance - ALFA International.
Dacheng has also entered into a cooperation agreement with one of Israel's largest law firms Shibolet & Co. As part of the agreement, Shibolet's China partner Amit Ben-Yehoshua is now based in Dacheng's Shanghai office and serves as the main contact point for both firms. He holds a Master degree in Chinese law from Tsinghua University of Beijing and is licensed to practice law in California and Israel.
