Please note that there are many claims in the page for Lehman, Lee & Xu law firm in Beijing that are suspect:

"Lehman, Lee & Xu is one of the oldest law firms in China:"

It apparently was called "L & A Law Firm" before, but changed its name in recent years:

China Daily, Jan. 3, 2002 Beijing's L & A Law Firm, for instance, passed the ISO9002 quality assessment last month after China's WTO accession. ISO9002 is a well-known series of standards related to quality management that senior managers use to improved performance. "It will help us improve management and deduce risks in doing business," said lawyer Xu Jiali, a leading partner of that law firm.

Yet an undated entry from China Business Review notes that "The L & A Law Firm has changed its name to Lehman, Lee & Xu. Brinton M. Scott no longer works at the firm." http://www.chinabusinessreview.com/public/9903/lehman.html

the website for L&A Law Firm, www.chinalaw.cc, resolves to that for Lehman, Lee & Xu, www.lehmanlaw.com

Some time after 2002 it changed its name, and most probably its partners, so it can hardly be one of the oldest in China.

As well, the page claims that it has "600+ attorneys". This is highly suspect, as its own webpage metatags say:"…more than 210 lawyers located in 8 cities China-wide".

There is also some concern that it is not actually headquartered in Beijing -- but is registered in Shanghai and Hong Kong -- making more of its claims suspect.
