What does it take to run the legal team in one of the most profitable deal shops in the world? After months of discussions with private equity and leveraged finance partners at the leading law firms in London as well as a host of in-house lawyers, Legal Business has come up with the definitive list of the top London-based private equity GCs, with 24 making the grade.

GC Powerlist: China 2025

Legal 500 returned to Beijing for the launch of the GC Powerlist: China 2025, held in partnership with Tian Yuan Law Firm. The event brought together in-house counsel from across the country to recognise their contributions and leadership within their organisations.

The programme opened with remarks from Haiyan Ren, Senior Partner at Tian Yuan Law Firm, followed by keynote addresses from Changqing Xie, Deputy President of the Arbitration Court at the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC), and Haiyang Cao, Senior Legal Counsel and arbitrator.

A reception followed, offering honourees the opportunity to meet peers and exchange experiences.

We thank Tian Yuan Law Firm for its support and congratulate all recognised general counsel on their achievements.
