[QUOTE="Yminh, post: 2964, member: 687"] Hi Jaysen, I'm a little bit confused about what you wrote in the China bit. So initially, Linklaters was looking for a merger with another Chinese firm, like King & Wood Mallesons did, but then abadoned this to go for the greenfield option? Or did you mean Linklaters were looking to establish a joint venture with a Chinese firm but then decided to do a greenfield? If it was the latter, can you explain a little bit more why Linklaters eventually opted for the greenfield option instead of pushing for a joint venture with an already-existed Chinese law firm, given that the end result was that Linklaters will be able to practise Chinese law. I tried to look into this myself, but many articles written on this required subscription :( [/QUOTE]
