SIPAC Chairman Robert Lewis commented as follows:
We are gratified by the recognition of the SIPAC value proposition represented by the continued explosive growth of the platform – and there are many more top firms still in the pipeline, who we expect will be joining us in the coming weeks and months.
We have recognized from the beginning that it was imperative that we be very selective to ensure that the quality of the member firms in the network meets the highest standards, and in each case, our new and continuing members are top-quality law firms in their respective markets. Much of our growth can now be attributed to introductions made by current members to their peer firms in their home regions.
About SIPAC:
SIPAC’s mission is to bring together the Sino-Global legal communities through closer cooperation. To date, thousands of Chinese in-house and law firm lawyers have accessed international know how content and participated in international training, webinars and live events, through which they have been able to engage directly with SIPAC members and friends around the world.
More importantly, hundreds of top Chinese lawyers actively participate in the Sino-Global Legal Community WeChat group, generating multiple requests for referrals to top law firms around the world each working day. By way of example, over the last few months, the SIPAC team has been
able to make more than 180 referrals to leading law firms in more than 70 jurisdictions across the globe.
A senior partner of a leading China Red Circle firm observed:
“SIPAC provides an exceptional platform for Chinese lawyers (from both In-House departments and Red Circle law firms) to connect with their counterparts from around the globe.”
