The early exit of Morgan Lewis from Shenzhen in less than two years has surprised legal circles, especially when a booming tech sector has attracted foreign law firms to set up shop in the city, focusing on IP and dispute resolution.    The Morgan Lewis lawyers at the Shenzhen branch were former head Shaobin Zhu (朱韶斌) and managing associate Tang Bo. Zhu, who previously led Morgan Lewis’ China IP team, joined DLA Piper’s Seattle outfit in November last year. Tang, who left in September 2024, joined Shenzhen-based PurpleVine IP.    Gary Li, the legal head of Shenzhen-based Hive Box, said Shenzhen companies’ legal expenses may not be enough to support the operations of foreign law firms.     “Under the current situation, companies have been reducing costs and increasing efficiency, which means their legal budgets are shrinking … law firms may not be able to obtain enough business volume by large, well-paying companies in this region,” Li said.    However, Zhu told China Business Law Journal that the demand for cross-border IP services in Shenzhen remains strong and was expected to grow.     “As Shenzhen-based companies penetrate international markets, they increasingly rely on expert legal assistance to safeguard their intellectual property, navigate complex international IP laws, and maintain a competitive edge,” said Zhu, adding that DLA Piper was well-positioned to support Shenzhen companies’ legal needs.    Shawn CHEN, a partner at legal market consultancy SSQ, said: “It has been difficult for international law firms to hire performing partners in any practice area for many years, not just in Shenzhen but across the whole country.”    Find more legal information in China Business Law Journal.    👉 Join our membership: https://lnkd.in/gBZGctHN     #cblj #china #shenzhen #ip #iplaw #disputeresolution #capitalmarkets #inhousecounsel #business #legalprofession #lawfirms #lawyers #legal #law #lawdotasia 

摩根路易斯的深圳代表处主要专注于知识产权业务，为科技和生命健康企业提供涉外法律服务。但仅经营了一年半后，该所的发言人向《商法》确认代表处关闭一事：“我们与深圳仅有的两位律师分道扬镳，并在上海代表处重新建立了我们的中国知识产权业务。”     Shaobin Zhu (朱韶斌)曾领导摩根路易斯中国知识产权团队，于去年11月加入了欧华律师事务所的美国西雅图办公室；而唐波已于2024年9月离任，随后加入了位于深圳的紫藤知识产权集团。    丰巢网络技术法务部负责人李琼嘉指出，当前深圳企业的付费能力未必能够支撑外资律所在当地的业务。    朱韶斌告诉《商法》，深圳企业对跨境知识产权服务的需求依然强劲，他预计服务需求将持续增长。    法律市场咨询公司SSQ公司的合伙人陈山(Shawn CHEN)说：“多年来，国际律所在任何业务领域招募高绩效的合伙人都十分困难，这种情况不仅限于深圳，而是全国普遍现象。”    📢订阅《商法》：https://lnkd.in/g7-WfJNp #商法 #中国  #深圳 #知识产权 #知识产权保护 #跨境 #争议解决 #资本市场 #律师 #律所 #法律
