Nanjing is one of the key cities in Eastern China and the Yangtze River Delta region. Eastern China has a relatively high level of economic and social development and regional openness and cooperation. The rapid economic growth of the city has had a strong impact on the development of Jiangsu and the neighbouring Anhui provinces. The main industries of Nanjing include electronics, automobiles, manufacturing and petrochemicals, with shipping as a fast-growing sector.

While the Chinese economy had a boost right after the Government lifted the zero-covid policy, this was relatively short-lived as the economy headed into deflation and youth unemployment hit over 20%. Bankruptcy-related work have increased. Other strong legal sectors in the region include M&A, and construction.
