Beijing-based Yingke Law Firm strategically chose to open its South China foreign-related legal services center in bustling Guangzhou's Tianhe district, with the plaque-unveiling ceremony held on May 20.

Yingke is a global legal services firm, with its services covering 190 cities in 100 countries and regions. It has been devoted to building the "global one-hour legal services ecosystem" and, hence, has established the South China Center.

At the ceremony, Dai Juan, deputy head of the Tianhe bureau of justice, expressed optimism about the collaborative efforts between Yingke and the South China Center. He anticipates that the bureau is poised to improve its capacity for foreign-related legal services, contributing to the district's market-oriented, law-based, and international business environment.

Yingke is poised to provide better foreign-related legal services and help with Tianhe's high-quality economic development, said Mei Xiangrong, director of the firm's global board.

In recent years, Tianhe has been focusing on the needs of foreign-related legal services. It has built or introduced several foreign-related legal services platforms, including the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area International Business and Digital Economy Arbitration Center and the APEC Online Dispute Resolution (APEC-ODR) platform.
