Editorial Policy

We publish English-language guides to mainland China law and directory pages to help readers find counsel for China legal matters. This policy explains how content is produced and maintained.

Last updated: 1 August 2026 · China Law List Editorial

Purpose

Editorial content should help international clients understand legal issues in mainland China and find lawyers who practise mainland China law. We prioritise clarity, practical process, and honest limits of what a guide can cover.

Sources

Writers should rely on primary materials where practical (statutes, judicial interpretations, official guidance) and reputable secondary commentary. Guides should distinguish settled rules from practice tips and flag uncertainty.

Structure standards

Flagship guides should include a plain-language summary, clear headings, practical steps or risks, FAQs where useful, links to related city or practice hubs, and a path to request counsel. City and practice pages follow the same standards and should make their mainland China scope clear.

Updates

High-traffic practice and city pages should be reviewed when law changes or at least periodically. “Last reviewed” dates on templates reflect the latest meaningful edit known to the CMS.

Independence from paid placement

Paid listings, featured profiles, or sponsorship must not be presented as neutral editorial rankings. See Listing Standards and our Lawyer Verification Policy for how directory status works.
