Clifford Chance
高伟绅律师事务所扎根于中国大陆超过三十年，凭着专业知识、经验和全面的实力，为客户创造最大可能的佳绩。
三十余载情，同一中国梦
“要在中国有所成，必先了解其国情”，这是我们一路走来深信的道理。早在1985年，我们便开始在北京执业，随后于1993年开设了上海办公室（香港办公室设立于1980年）。我们在中国大陆建立了全面的实力，网罗公司事务/并购、资本市场、银行与金融、基金和投资管理、房地产、雇用、知识产权、竞争/反垄断、反腐败、争议解决和金融监管融资、资本市场、公司事务/并购、诉讼和争议解决等领域的法律专才。客户不论中外，同样重视地利的把握，这样才能取得佳绩。经过实战三十多年厚积薄发的经验和知识，我们在中国的实力，正好是客户看准的合作对象。
中外客户，国际业务并肩同行
我们既了解中国企业文化，又有完善的国际网络，客户知道这样的国际优势是他们赖以充分抓住和深挖国际商机的要素，不论是投资新的能源项目、拓展新的市场，还是在海外市场募集资金等，这都是不可或缺的条件。
立足大中华，放眼看世界 – 海外中国业务部
我们在大中华区的三个办公室（北京、香港、上海），经常在各类中国境内外的交易中协同合作，其中香港办公室也设有专门负责中国大陆相关交易的律师团队。
此外，我们还在全球多个办公室分别设立了专门的中国业务部，由擅长不同法律专业领域的60多位律师组成，大多数成员都具备参与中国大陆交易的经验。目前我们已在非洲、北美、南美、亚太、欧洲和中东地区的办公室设立中国业务部，以便中国客户及时地联络常驻这些海外司法辖区的中国业务部的律师，确保中国客户能充分利用高伟绅覆盖全球的业务网络。
关于不法分子冒充我所实施不法活动的声明
近日，我所发现，有不法分子冒充我所实施如下不法行为：
编造姓名冒充我所律师和工作人员，以提供网络维权服务为由要求受害人下载APP（“维权卫士”、“精诚维权”等），并通过该等APP与受害人联系和向受害人收取费用，并使用伪造的我所印章与受害人签署协议。
对此事件，我所高度重视，现发表声明如下：
1、我所在中国不提供网络维权服务；
2、我所律师和工作人员不会要求客户下载任何非法APP或网络软件，也不会通过该等APP与客户联系或向客户收取费用。
针对目前不法分子冒充我所实施不法活动的行为，我所已与警方取得联系，并将保留追究其法律责任的权利。
我所也提醒广大民众审慎甄别信息，谨防上当受骗；如有财产损失，请及早向警方报案。
特此声明。
