An uptick of Chinese business and investors in the U.K. is among the reasons why a prominent Chinese law firm has opted to launch a London office.

Jingsh, a Beijing-based firm with more than $240 million in turnover and 3,500 lawyers, is in the process of setting up a London operation. In a statement, Yong You, chief representative of Jingsh London, said the fact that London has “long been favoured by Chinese investors” meant that starting up in the city was a clear choice.
