Han Yi was recently awarded the Boutique M&A Law Firm of the Year in China for 2013 by Corporate INTL Magazine (http://www.corp-intl.com) in its 2013 international selection and award process.

Headquartered in the U.K., Corporate INTL is a leading professional magazine in legal and financial service fields with an influential circulation in business leaders and legal/financial advisors on a worldwide basis. The annual Corporate INTL Legal Awards is aimed at selecting and recognizing the most outstanding law firms in various practice areas across different jurisdictions of the world. Usually only one law firm will be awarded in any particular area of practice in any given jurisdiction. During Corporate INTL's selection process, an independent professional team will first come up with a shortlist of law firms based on its research and evaluation of such factors as the scope of services provided, business type, geographical location, operating method and overall reputation. Then an independent selection committee composed of legal professionals and business leaders of international reputation will review the shortlisted firms and determine the final winners.

The M&A practice of Han Yi has been steadily expanding in recent years and gained positive client recognition and market reputation. This award not only reflects our outstanding performance and solid influence in the M&A area but also confirms for one more time our strong commitment to professional excellence and our consistent dedication to serving the clients. We appreciate the recognition and encouragement from our clients, our peers as well as the professional ranking agencies, and will stick with Han Yi's core values of constantly self improving ourselves in order to provide best quality legal services in the most cost efficient way to our clients and our society.
