This document discusses China's restrictions on foreign law firms and how its entry into the WTO may impact those restrictions. Currently, China severely limits foreign law firms by restricting the number that can operate, prohibiting them from interpreting Chinese law or advising on legal applications, and banning the hiring of Chinese lawyers. While WTO negotiations mentioned increasing foreign firm access, they did not fully address the issue. The document argues that China's WTO entry will lead to some immediate easing of restrictions but that most changes will occur gradually as China further integrates into the global marketplace.
