近日，元绪高级合伙人、元绪禤氏（成都）联营所副主任、四川省涉侨法律服务工作站负责人许泽律师代表元绪禤氏（成都）联营所与喀麦隆GEORGES ESSIMI律师事务所达成战略合作，双方在线签署了战略合作协议。双方将在中国成都和喀麦隆首都雅温得互设联络办公室，共同开拓非洲法律服务市场。
Recently, Lawyer Xu Ze, Senior Partner of Yuanxu Law Firm, Deputy Director of Yuan Xu Huen&Partners Alliance Law Firm（Chengdu）, and Head of the Sichuan Province Overseas Chinese Legal Service Workstation, represented Yuan Xu Huen&Partners Alliance Law Firm（Chengdu） in reaching a strategic cooperation agreement with Georges Essimi Law Firm in Cameroon. The two parties signed the strategic cooperation agreement online. They plan to establish liaison offices in Chengdu, China, and Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon, to jointly explore the African legal services market.
元绪禤氏联营所作为西南地区与香港联营的首家律师事务所，此次与喀麦隆律所的战略合作是其全球化布局的重要一环。双方将整合各自在地域和专业领域的优势资源，共享法律研究成果、案例资源和市场信息，共同提升跨境法律服务的综合能力。
As the first law firm in Southwest China to form an joint venture with a Hong Kong-based firm, the strategic cooperation between Yuan Xu Huen&Partners Alliance with the Cameroonian law firm marks a significant step in its global expansion. The two parties will integrate their respective resources in regional and professional expertise, share legal research achievements, case resources, and market information, and jointly enhance their comprehensive capabilities in cross-border legal services.
元绪禤氏选择此时布局非洲，与中非经贸关系跨越式发展密切相关。数据显示，中国对非洲进出口总值从2000年中非合作论坛成立之初的不足1000亿元人民币，跃升至2024年的2.1万亿元人民币，累计增长超20倍，中国连续16年稳居非洲第一大贸易伙伴国地位。随着中非贸易结构显著优化，从单一的矿产资源拓展至农产品、新能源汽车、锂电池、光伏产品等多元化领域，法律服务需求也日益复杂多样。
Yuan Xu Huen&Partners Alliance’s decision to expand into Africa at this time is closely linked to the rapid development of China-Africa economic and trade relations. Data shows that the total value of China’s imports and exports with Africa has surged from less than 100 billion RMB in 2000, when the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) was established, to 2.1 trillion RMB in 2024, representing a cumulative growth of over 20 times. China has remained Africa’s largest trading partner for 16 consecutive years. As the structure of China-Africa trade significantly optimizes, expanding fromsingle mineral resources to diverse areas such as agricultural products, new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic products, the demand for legal services has become increasingly complex and varied.
本次合作恰逢中非合作论坛成立25周年，是法律服务业积极响应中非合作论坛精神的具体体现。随着中非合作论坛成果的落实和“一带一路”建设的深入推进，中非法律合作将成为构建新时代中非命运共同体的重要组成部分。
This cooperation coincides with the 25th anniversary of the establishment of FOCAC and reflects the legal service industry’s active response to the spirit of the forum. With the implementation of FOCAC outcomes and the deepening of the Belt and Road Initiative, China-Africa legal cooperation will become an important component of building a China-Africa community with a shared future in the new era.
元绪禤氏与GEORGES ESSIMI的此次战略合作，是法律服务业主动适应中非经贸关系快速发展的积极举措，将为双方带来更广阔的发展前景。元绪和元绪禤氏将以雅温得为基地，辐射中非和西非地区，为前往非洲投资和开展经贸活动的中企和个人提供高质量的法律服务。
The strategic cooperation between Yuan Xu Huen&Partners Alliance and Georges Essimi is a proactive move by the legal service industry to adapt to the rapid development of China-Africa economic and trade relations, promising broader development prospects for both parties. Yuanxu and Yuan Xu Huen&Partners Alliance will use Yaoundé as a base to extend their services to Central and West Africa, providing high-quality legal services to Chinese enterprises and individuals investing and engaging in economic and trade activities in Africa.
