Celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival with Our Team

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most significant traditional Chinese festivals, carrying a rich cultural heritage and expressing heartfelt wishes for health, peace and family unity.

To celebrate this special occasion, W & G Lawyers presented each member of our team with traditional zongzi—glutinous rice dumplings enjoyed during the Dragon Boat Festival. The zongzi were thoughtfully prepared and provided by the restaurant of New Shanghai at Garden City, allowing our team to share in the warmth, tradition and festive spirit of this important Chinese celebration.

This gesture was more than a seasonal gift. It was an expression of our appreciation for the professionalism, dedication and contribution of every member of the W & G Lawyers team. We value the people behind our firm and remain committed to fostering a supportive, united and caring workplace.

We sincerely thank New Shanghai at Garden City for providing the delicious traditional zongzi for our celebration.

W & G Lawyers wishes our staff, clients, professional partners and wider community:

A peaceful and joyful Dragon Boat Festival, with good health, happiness and continued success.
