Our Global Network
Duan & Duan UK LLP is part of the Duan & Duan international network — 40+ offices, 2,000+ lawyers, across Asia, Europe and North America.
Duan & Duan UK LLP is a member of the Duan & Duan international network. Our clients at our Middle Temple office benefit from access to more than 2,000 lawyers in 40+ offices across Asia, Europe, and North America — with the reassurance of working through a single, SRA-regulated UK firm as their primary point of contact.
What the network means for our clients
- Trusted referrals into familiar jurisdictions. When a matter extends into mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, New York or elsewhere, we draw on relationships with lawyers we work with regularly — not a cold list from a directory.
- Coordinated cross-border matters. For disputes, transactions, and private-client work spanning multiple jurisdictions, we act as your single point of contact in London and coordinate across the network. One engagement letter, one partner on-point, one invoice (unless local regulation requires otherwise).
- Bilingual working at every step. Briefing notes, translation of key documents, and live meetings in both English and Mandarin / Cantonese, without the delays and quality issues of an external translation chain.
- A firm you can verify. Duan & Duan UK LLP is an independent English LLP, fully regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA 659252). The network is a network — not a merged partnership — so each office is locally accountable to its own regulator.
