According to Europe's largest tax and legal publisher, Wolters Kluwer N.V., China is experiencing ''explosive'' growth in the legal sector.
The CEO of Wolters, Nancy McKinstry, projects that by 2020, China will have more than ten times the amount of lawyers it currently has. Today, there are around 170,000 lawyers in the country. In ten years time, McKinstry predicts there will be around 2 million lawyers.
''China is a very important market for us,'' McKinstry said. ''If you look at the projections in the growth of professionals, it's just explosive.
Wolters is China's largest bilingual legal publisher. Over the past couple years, the company has seen its profits take a dip as its sales stagnates. Now, the publisher is setting its sights toward China for growth. McKinstry claims that sales in China will increase by 10 percent every year for the ''foreseeable future.''
Wolters Kluwer NV is the result of the 1987 merger between Kluwer Publishing and Wolters Samson.
Question: I'm a third-year litigator and it's been one week since I interviewed with a firm. I think everything went very well; even the head of the group was telling me how qualified I am. However, when I sent thank-you emails nobody responded. It's a week later and I'm assuming the worst. My husband tells me I'm being a pessimist. What's your thought?
