Upscaling is a developmental strategy that China's large firms have been pursuing for a considerable period, but they are also consistently making adjustments to it. Several winners on this year's ALB China Top 30 Largest Law Firms list emphasize that the numerical growth alone does not adequately measure the magnitude of a firm. With an increase in the size of a firm, there arises a proportional increase in the number of pressing issues that demand resolution. Therefore, understanding what it truly means to be a large firm is better explored through various perspectives, such as specialization and integration.

规模化是中国大型律所长期坚持，但也在不断重塑的发展路径。今年，多家登上“30大所”榜单的律所告诉ALB，数字的增长不是规模化发展唯一的度量衡，更大的规模也带来了更多亟待解决的问题，从专业化、一体化等视角切入，或许能探寻到规模化更深远的意义。
