国内首家，落户前海！外国律所为何优选深圳？
近日，司法部发布公告，正式批准波兰高柏歌岚律师事务所在华设立代表处，代表处已确定落户前海。这是国内首家东欧律师事务所驻华代表机构落地深圳。自2023年以来，司法部共批准17家外国律师事务所设立驻华代表机构，其中8家位于深圳，占据近半壁江山。外国律所在华布局，为何优选深圳？深圳是外贸大市，也是全国市场主体和企业密度最高的城市，企业出海护航需求旺盛。2025年上半年，深圳市进出口2.17万亿元人民币，占同期全国进出口总值的9.9%。优良的营商环境、先行先试的政策等，也对国际知名律师事务所有强大吸引力。大湾区构建起了覆盖8600万人口、GDP超14万亿元的超级市场腹地。对国际律所而言，落子深圳即意味着抢占大湾区核心支点，有望辐射整个区域经济版图。
First of Its Kind in China, Settles in Qianhai! Foreign Law Firms Flock to Shenzhen
Recently, the Ministry of Justice issued an announcement officially approving the establishment of a representative office by Polish law firm Golembiowski & Partners in China, with the office confirmed to be located in Qianhai. This is the first Eastern European law firm representative office to land in Shenzhen. Since 2023, the Ministry of Justice has approved 17 foreign law firms to establish representative offices in China, with 8 located in Shenzhen, accounting for nearly half. Why do foreign law firms prefer Shenzhen for their China layout? Shenzhen is a major foreign trade city and the city with the highest density of market entities and enterprises nationwide, with strong demand for enterprise overseas expansion services. In the first half of 2025, Shenzhen’s import and export totaled 2.17 trillion yuan, accounting for 9.9% of the national total. The excellent business environment, pioneering policies, and the Greater Bay Area’s super market hinterland covering 86 million people with GDP exceeding 14 trillion yuan make Shenzhen an attractive location for international law firms.
