Everbright’s Kunming Office was established in January 2024 as part of the firm’s expansion of its service coverage in Southwest China and its efforts to deepen legal services collaboration between Shanghai and Yunnan. Operating under Everbright’s integrated firmwide model, the office draws on the expertise and collaborative resources of the Shanghai headquarters and other offices to deliver locally informed, multidisciplinary legal services to clients in Yunnan and across Southwest China.

The Kunming Office advises on government and public affairs, corporate and commercial matters, general corporate advisory, real estate and construction, and civil and commercial dispute resolution. Its lawyers have experience advising government and public institutions and state-owned enterprises, supporting corporate compliance, and handling construction and other complex civil and commercial disputes.

Leveraging Kunming’s position as a gateway to South and Southeast Asia, the office is committed to supporting commercial ties between Shanghai and Yunnan, the development of Yunnan-based enterprises, and the legal needs of businesses investing and operating in neighboring markets. As matters require, it works with Everbright’s offices in China and overseas, as well as other professional advisors, to deliver clear, practical and actionable solutions.
