On December 15, 2020, Chambers and Partners, an internationally renowned authoritative legal rating agency, launched the 2021 Chambers Asia-Pacific Guide. As a boutique law firm, T&D Associates is proud to announce that we were once again graded as the Band-1 PRC Law Firm in the field of Competition/Antitrust Law. 2021's Band-1 rate makes it the TWELFTH time for T&D to be graded as a Band 1 Competition/Antitrust Law Firm (PRC) as it did since 2010. In addition, Dr. John Ren, the managing partner of T&D Associates, was also once again ranked as Band-1 lawyers in the practice of Competition/Antitrust Law.

Chambers remarked T&D Associates that “A go-to, dedicated practice for challenging merger control filing issues and complex investigations launched by regulators. Known for its deep understanding of changing regulations. Trusted by domestic and international clients from an array of sectors such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals and manufacturing. Routinely advises Japanese clients on PRC antitrust law and acts as PRC counsel to American blue-chip corporations on merger filings”.

A client compliments the team's "outstanding ability to understand cross-border dynamics between China, Europe and the US," as well as its "excellent insights into China policy and current practices."

In addition, Chambers remarked Dr. John Ren is a pre-eminent practitioner well known for his extensive experience handling complex merger filings. Chambers revealed that, Dr. John Ren is praised by one admiring interviewee for being "really good at distilling a case down to its essentials and knowing exactly what to tell the authorities at whatever point in time, even for difficult mergers."

We would like to take this exciting opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to clients and colleagues for all their trust, support and help all the time. We will continue to exert our efforts to better assist our clients in competition/antitrust legal matters by our expertise and diligence.
