Does the law firm applying for the practice base of lawyers in Yunnan Province need to be established for one year?

No need. After the establishment of a law firm, registered lawyers can recruit interns, and there is no requirement that the firm can recruit interns after one year. The law firm that accepts interns in Kunming shall meet the conditions stipulated by the Yunnan Provincial Department of Justice and have the qualification of accepting interns granted by the Yunnan Provincial Department of Justice. If you are not qualified to accept interns without authorization, the Lawyers Association will not assess the internship situation of interns, but the economy is underdeveloped, except in areas with few local law firms.
