On February 18, 2019, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is a major national strategy personally planned, deployed and promoted by General Secretary Xi Jinping, while Guangzhou acts as an important element in this strategy. Seen from the satellite view of the world at night, the lights shine resplendently from Guangzhou to Shenzhen and extend to Hong Kong and Macao. 

Guangzhou – a city with gentle breeze and green grasses. On May 21, 2021, with the approval of the Department of Justice, Guangdong, Tahota (Guangzhou) Law Firm was approved to be established in Guangzhou. From Chengdu to Guangzhou, Tahota has crossed mountains and rivers to this miraculous land, and is destined to start a splendid new chapter here. 

Greater bay area at its blossom time

Guangzhou, referred to as “Sui”, also known as City of Goat and City of Flowers, is the capital city and sub-provincial city of Guangdong Province. As the starting point of China’s Maritime Silk Road and an important port city for China’s foreign trade for a long time, Guangzhou (English name Canton) enjoys a high-level of influence and recognition in the world. It is also the central city of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Pan-Pearl River Delta Economic Zone and the hub city of the Belt and Road Initiative. 

Guangzhou has always been vibrant ever since the ancient times and is always glowing with brilliant lights. And it is exactly Guangzhou’s spirit of pioneering, opening-up, inclusiveness and pragmatism that made Guangzhou’s success today. Tahota’s cultural philosophy of “being poised but not arrogant, being affable but not adulatory” advocates that a noble person shall stay calm but not domineering, and shall allow for different opinions while seeking peaceful and common development. This philosophy is highly compatible with the Guangzhou spirit, so we can say we share “similar ideals and beliefs”. Based on Guangzhou’s important geographical location and national strategic layout, Tahota’s development in Guangzhou will definitely go broader, farther and more steadily in the future. 

Deeply rooted in and provide service for the Greater Bay Area

Tahota Guangzhou Office is located in the Bank of Guangzhou Tower, a Class-A office building in the core area of Zhujiang New Town of Tianhe CBD, one of the three national central business districts approved by the State Council. This area has the largest concentration of super high-rise buildings above 300 meters in China, and also has the largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies in Guangzhou. 

At present, Tahota Guangzhou Office has assembled numerous professionals specializing in various business fields, including corporate compliance, capital markets, financial securities, cross-border trade, construction projects, real estate, urban renewal, culture and art, intellectual property rights, major commercial dispute resolution and so on. The Guangzhou Office will take Tahota’s cultural concept as the core, rely on Guangzhou’s special position in the “Belt and Road” and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, strengthen cooperation with universities and attract and drive more leading talents in foreign laws and other fields to join. At the same time, the Guangzhou Office will fully integrate the advantages of Tahota’s global offices and cooperate with Tahota Shenzhen Office, Haikou Office and Hong Kong Office to further expand the huge legal service market behind the rise of the “Greater Bay Area” and make contributions to the social and economic development and the rule of law of the “Greater Bay Area”. 

Guangzhou, the City of Flowers

Guangzhou, a city known for its “flowers”, has different kinds of flowers in bloom throughout the year. Guangzhou in May has already entered its summer now, with strong sunlight from above. But we can also find trees full of flowers, bringing us bright colors and feelings. 

Guangzhou, the flower city in bloom. In the tide of the times, on this high-spirited and struggling land and with the help and support of administrative organizations of justice at all levels, industry associations and all the society, Tahota Guangzhou Office has sufficient determination and confidence to accumulate experience and develop and is destined to write more “spring time stories” in the new era on the new journey. We believe that in this beautiful season, the Guangzhou Office will stay in full power and forge ahead with the core engine of the Greater Bay Area. We will also witness the new development of legal services in the Greater Bay Area!

Dear colleagues, the social recruitment advertising video compatible with more audio players has been released on our WeChat Channel “Tahota Youth Development Committee” and the TikTok channel “Tahota Law Firm”. We’re greatly flattered for your support and attention! Last night, feedback from some mobile phone users stated that there’s no sound for “a certain period of the video”. We immediately contacted the production company. They said that it was their first time to encounter such situation and discussed for solution with the experts in Beijing overnight. We also organized our colleagues using different phone models to carry out tests. After debugging for 59 times, a more complete version was finally produced. We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused hereby. At present, with the strong support of our colleagues, the video views have exceeded 40,000 and is still increasing! 

We will remain true to our original aspiration on the new platform and show the world a new Tahota from a new perspective. In the future, our short video matrix will launch more valuable, magnificent and interesting blockbusters. Let us work together to create a bigger picture where everyone is Tahota’s image officer and publicist! Thanks again to everyone involved!

 A new reunion is just for a better encounter. Let’s move to action at this very second!
