Revenue per lawyer (RPL) at Chinese firms is still dramatically lower than at their global counterparts. The 40 Chinese firms we ranked had an average RPL of $167,672 - just a fraction of the average RPL for the Global 100 ($813,150) or The Am Law 100 ($907,765). 

The small group of firms with higher RPL includes Han Kun ($390,000), Haiwen & Partners ($345,000) and Fangda Partners ($305,000), all of which have strong cross-border practices.
