    Luolong Office

    Address: Luolong County, Tibet Autonomous Region

    Zip code: 855400


    In July 2022, the Guantao Luolong Office was established. Luolong was once a typical 'lawyer-free county'. Currently, Luolong Office is the first law firm established, and Yin Linyan became the first registered practising lawyer in the history of Luolong County, Tibet.


    The establishment of the Luolong Office is a concentrated reflection of Guantao Law Firm's high political consciousness and social responsibility. Luolong is located at the junction of Tibet Autonomous Region, Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces, with a sparse population of less than 60,000 and a backward social, economic, and cultural development. The legal service market is a gap to be filled, and it is a typical 'lawyer-free county'. In 2022, in order to solve the problem of 'lawyer-free counties', under the unified deployment of the Ministry of Justice, 30 law firms from all over the country established new offices in 30 'lawyer-free counties' in Tibet, that is how the Luolong Office was born.

    The Luolong Office is responsible for providing high-quality legal services to the Luolong 's Government and the general public. Its establishment is not only a landmark event for Guantao  to fulfill its social responsibilities, but also an important milestone to promote law-based governance in Luolong. Therefore, Guantao has selected lawyers with excellent professional skills, outstanding comprehensive abilities, and rich business experience from its offices across the country to be based in Luolong.


    As the pioneer, the lawyer base in Luolong Office has now become the legal advisor for the local government and has played an important role in the handling of major local legal events. In addition, the layer shoulders the heavy responsibility of legal aid in Luolong, and has been widely praised for providing legal aid services to the local people.
