Zhao Liming, founding partner and director of Shaanxi Haipu Ruicheng Law FirmAs one of the founders of Hepalink, he has demonstrated the professionalism of lawyers with his 30 years of love.

Writing a wanton life with the song of youth, Hepalink can responsibly declare:Always love the lawyer's profession, always pursue fairness and justice, always strive to protect the legitimate rights and interests of clients, and always take the unity of personal value and social value as the working criterion.

High-dimensional cognition
Look at the current road from the perspective of the future
The high-quality development of law firms is an important prerequisite for ensuring the healthy and compliant development of the regional economy. How to understand and achieve high-quality development of law firms?Liu Guiming, Dean of Guike College and Editor-in-Chief of Democracy and Legal System, presided over the discussion session on "High-quality Development of Law Firms", and five experts shared their views on international law firm standards, cultural construction, and regional breakthroughs.
Wang Jinxi, Professor, Doctoral Supervisor, Director of the Lawyer Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, and Vice President of the Lawyer Research Association of the China Law Society
Wang Jinxi, Professor, Doctoral Supervisor, Director of the Lawyer Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, and Vice President of the Lawyer Research Association of the China Law SocietyIn the keynote speech on "How to Respond to the Requirements of Cultivating World-class Law Firms", he said that whether a law firm is a world-class law firm can be judged from four dimensions: first, it must have a certain scale and significant revenue;Secondly, manpower and products must have the ability to specialize;Again, there should be a governance structure;Finally, have a unique culture and social responsibility. He also pointed out that the management of world-class law firms has higher requirements, which is not only business management, but also involves technical issues, legal issues and business issues, which is a collection of multi-dimensional management.

Wang Jiachun, a famous cultural scholar and professor, the founder of philosophical Chinese painting, and the former party secretary of Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts. In the speech "Tao Te Ching High-Dimensional Wisdom Empowers Lawyers", it was pointed out that the most precious thing about Tao Te Ching is to give people a high-dimensional way of thinking, and for lawyers, they can borrow the way of thinking of the Tao Te Ching to guide and empower their work. If you understand that everything has pros and cons, that is, from a different perspective, looking at the problem from the client, there may be a new perspective and a solution.
Han Xiutao, professor of Beijing Institute of Technology and former secretary general of the All China Lawyers Association.
Han Xiutao, professor of Beijing Institute of Technology and former secretary general of the All China Lawyers Association. In the speech "Humanistic Spirit and Law Firm Culture", he pointed out that lawyers are organized brands, law firms are branded organizations, and law firm management is based on an organizational culture, which is a gentle and lasting force. A law firm cannot be a law firm in the full sense of the word if it is not managed. In the future competition of law firms, we must pay attention to giving full play to the advantages of the organization and digging deep into the "moat" of the law firm.
Zhang Jingzhong, director of Zhejiang Tianci Law Firm and former vice president of the All China Lawyers Association
Zhang Jingzhong, director of Zhejiang Tianci Law Firm and former vice president of the All China Lawyers AssociationHe shared the "law firm culture construction", and pointed out that culture should be used to enhance organizational strength. Because the law firm is a weak organization, to become a strong organization, it depends on the blessing of culture. There are three paths in this process: first, use strategy to boost confidence;Second, attract people with a humanized system;Third, there is a sense of community. He also emphasized that culture is an important force behind management, which seems intangible, but in fact the power is infinite, which has a strong driving force for the high-quality development of law firms and is an important production chain.

In the theme sharing of "Breakthrough of Regional Law Firms", it was pointed out that regional law firms are facing three major dilemmas: the overall growth rate of the market slowing down, the serious involution of the industry, and the competition for market share by large-scale national law firmsAt the same time, he also gave breakthrough suggestions from five aspects: regional expansion, cross-regional layout, corporate operation, professional construction and talent training.

Liu Guiming, Dean of Guike College and Editor-in-Chief of Democracy and Legal System. The sharing of the five speakers was summarized with "outward vision, upward strength, inward cultivation, good image, and forward perspective". He said that there is a general law in the lawyer industry - 3 years to see stability, 5 years to look at development, 8 years to look at improvement, 10 years to look at innovation, 20 years to look at transformation, 30 years to look at inheritance. It is necessary to see the cultural connotation in the management rules, which has both professionalism and professionalism, as well as industry spirit and career spirit. Lawyer is both a profession and a profession and a career;And for lawyers to become a career, they must be empowered by culture.
Actual combat on the ground
The wisdom of 6 regional leading law firms is integrated
China's legal industry is ushering in a new wave of scale, and how regional law firms can base themselves on the local area, adapt measures to local conditions, and take advantage of the trend requires not only professional strength, but also wisdom and determination. The wonderful content of the keynote sharing session enhanced everyone's cognitive dimension, and the roundtable discussion of the seminar focused on "The Development and Innovation of the Lawyer Industry", with representatives of large and regional law firms from Beijing, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Anhui, Qinghai, Shaanxi and other places sitting and discussing. Wang Fengmei, founder and CEO of Legal News AgencyA roundtable discussion was moderated.
From left to right: Wang Fengmei, founder and CEO of Lexis, Du Juan, deputy director and member of the Party Committee of Shaanxi Haipu Ruicheng Law Firm, Zhang Xiaojian, director of Anhui Tianhe Law Firm, Chen Yan, director of Qinghai Shuren Law Firm, Lian Gaobo, executive director of Beijing Kangda Law Firm, Zhu Wei, managing partner of Zhejiang Liuhe Law Firm, and Huo Zishi, member of the Party Committee and executive committee member of Sichuan Mingju Law Firm.
Du Juan, deputy director of Shaanxi Haipu Ruicheng Law Firm and member of the Party CommitteeIt is believed that high-quality development is a relative concept, because the scale and per capita income generation of regional law firms and the vast number of law firms in Beijing and Shanghai are different, in addition to profit margins and per capita income generation, an important embodiment of high-quality development is talent construction. In 2023, the Management Committee of Hepalink issued a talent introduction plan to provide strong support for high-quality development in terms of software and hardware, and make up for the shortcomings of the law firm's profession while continuously improving the long board. This initiative has achieved remarkable results in improving the overall professionalism of law firms. At the same time, Heplink has also increased the training of young lawyers through various initiatives, and used a flexible benefit distribution system to stimulate cooperation and sharing among lawyers.
Zhang Xiaojian, director of Anhui Tianhe Law FirmIt is believed that in order to achieve high-quality development, law firms need to make efforts from three aspects: first, they must have a service orientation for high-quality development;Secondly, there should be a support system including business construction, talent construction, and management construction to provide supportFinally, there must be a comparative advantage in service capabilities. These three elements work together to communicate, assist and cooperate, forming a closed loop for the high-quality development of the law firm. In the process of development and exploration, Tianhe has gradually found service advantages in the field of capital market in Anhui, which has also promoted Tianhe to make useful explorations in innovative legal service products and product refinement of traditional services. At the same time, combined with Anhui's strategy of entering the Yangtze River Delta, Tianhe has combined its own development with the national strategy of integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, and has gained a certain influence and brand recognition in the Yangtze River Delta.
Chen Yan, director of Qinghai Shuren Law FirmIt is believed that the high-quality development of law firms can be summarized as "three highs": first, high-quality talents, second, high-quality business, and third, efficient management. Only by achieving these "three highs" can it be said that the law firm has achieved high-quality development. He further pointed out that it is more important to select and promote talents than to cultivate them. In terms of cultivating talents, Shuren has set up a mentor system, which not only counsels business, but also counsels young lawyers in psychology and thoughtIn terms of business quality, when encountering major difficult and complex problems of customers, Shuren will gather the strength of various professions to serve the project and provide legal advice in all aspectsIn terms of management mechanism, Shuren allows people with more management ability and experience to manage the law firm.
Lian Gaobo, executive director of Beijing Kangda Law FirmThe understanding of the high-quality development of law firms is the "three strong", that is, strong risk control capabilities, strong professional service capabilities and strong revenue generation capabilities. Only when these three capabilities are sufficient at the same time can it be shown that the law firm is developing with high quality. He believes that the basic premise of the high-quality development of law firms is to be large-scale first, and the "strong" of "bigger and stronger" refers to high-quality development. If there is no scale advantage, in fact, there is no basic condition for "strong". However, "bigger" is also a moderate development scale, and it is definitely not a blind pursuit of scale. For example, when Kangda carries out large-scale development, it only chooses to lay out in provincial capitals or first-tier cities, and will not expand downward in new first-tier cities.
Zhu Wei, managing partner of Zhejiang Liuhe Law FirmIt is believed that the high quality of the law firm is reflected in three aspects: high quality business, high quality of talents and high quality of management. Specifically, in terms of business, in the face of increasingly fierce market competition, Liuhe relies on Hangzhou's special characteristics of digital economy development to focus its business on bankruptcy capital market and tax-related aspects, and has achieved good development results. Liuhe also attaches great importance to talent training, and cultivates talents in line with Liuhe's culture and values through youth training camps and other models. At the same time, he believes that in terms of management, the first is to improve the operation efficiently, the second is to make the firm a good platform for resource exchange, and the third is to keep the management updated and have fresh blood.
Huo Zishi, member of the Party Committee and member of the Executive Committee of Sichuan Mingju Law FirmIt summarizes the three key words of the high-quality development of the law firm: culture, organization and technology. According to him, Mingju was reorganized and established 10 years ago, when more than 30 law firms in Chengdu's legal service market chose to stay warm in the face of the entry and competition of the vast number of law firms in Beijing. The underlying logic of Mingju is "one person, one vote", the director of the management committee of the firm does not have the final veto power, and more than 140 partners have equal shares, and Mingju has formed its own core culture and values in the 10-year development process. Due to the presence of a large number of outstanding lawyers and their teams who are quite accomplished and prestigious in various specialties, Mingju has rapidly developed into a comprehensive law firm with high professional precision, full range of business categories and business covering all fields of legal services.
In addition to the best for high-quality development, we also focus on coping with the challenges faced in the era of digital economyEmbrace digitalization, technological innovation, thinking innovation, and compatibility and matching with third-party institutionsCarried out**.
The founder of Xinze, Yu Pengming.
The founder of Xinze, Yu Pengming. Roundtable discussions were commented upon. He believes that on the issue of the high-quality development of law firms, several representatives of law firms have mentioned the problem of talent structure, and the problems of customer structure and business structure shown in the development of law firms are actually talent structure problems at the bottom. The management style, management philosophy and management mode all point to the culture of the law firm. To a certain extent, the state of the law firm can be reversed through these dimensions, and if these items are done well, then the law firm is a high-quality development. At the same time, he believes that digitalization is a tool that will amplify the value of lawyers and law firms that have advantages. As long as there is no fundamental change in the way the legal industry works, the impact of digitalization may be much slower than everyone thinks. Compared with the impact of digitalization, for the industry, the aging of law firms and the impact of national law firms on local law firms may be more imminent.
The future is promising
Build a dream for a hundred years and start again
In the evening of the same day, Heplink also held a commendation award and a 30th anniversary art show, where talents from all walks of life took turns on the stage, and the wonderful programs written and performed by themselves showed the talents and feelings of Hepruicheng people. The "Light of Justice-The Song of Hepalink Sincerity", composed by Zhao Liming and composed by Qi Jianbo, was grandly released, and all the members sang on stage, and the passionate singing resonated with the audience and pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
As sung in the song "The Light of Justice" - how many mountains have been climbed, how many dangerous beaches have been crossed, and the promise of persistent truth-seeking is engraved in our hearts, abiding by the dignity of the law, and we are smiling for justice, and facing the lights and ......
Hepalink's song also sings the hearts of Chinese lawyers. Over the past 30 years, China's legal profession has developed rapidly and is becoming an important force in the rule of law, playing its own legal mission in the construction of the business environment and social governance.
