On Monday January 12, 2026, Hong Kong-based legal magazine China Business Law Journal (CBLJ) releases its list of The A-List 2025-26: Growth Drivers.

The Growth Drivers award recognizes lawyers with outstanding strategic thinking, profound legal expertise and hands-on experience, specialised industry knowledge and a thorough understanding of corporate and commercial realities, as well as proven track records in major transactions and complex disputes.

Li Bin, Partner and Member of the Management Committee, Wanhuida Intellectual Property, is ranked in the intellectual property category of the award.

To identify the winners, the CBLJ research team invited corporate counsel and executives from Chinese and global businesses, partners from Chinese and international law firms, and legal experts across diverse industries to nominate their lawyers of choice. The final selection is made by the research team from thousands of nominations and robust market response, based on independent editorial research.

The CBLJ A-List awards, which identifies the country’s most highly recommended private-practice lawyers, feature outstanding individuals across three categories: the Visionaries, the Growth Drivers; and Rising Stars.
