On May 25, 2023, the inauguration ceremony for Landing's National Digital Economy Committee was successfully held at the Landing Overseas Investment Legal Forum (Luang Prabang, Laos station). The committee was co-founded by the Economic Law School (Digital Economy Legal Research Center) of Shanghai University of Political Science and Law and Shanghai Landing Law Offices. Attorney Liu Yixing, the director of the Global Management Committee of Shanghai Landing Law Offices, and Associate Professor Shang Jiangang from the Economic Law School of Shanghai University of Political Science and Law participated in the event. Over ninety co-founding attorneys from Landing's National Digital Economy Committee, along with attorneys from various branch offices, joined either in person or remotely.

During the inauguration, attendees engaged in a lively discussion about the development prospects, direction, and daily operations of the National Digital Economy Committee. Firstly, the committee’s activities will focus on developing new business based on the collective capabilities of the entire firm. We aim to deliver unified service solutions and conduct organized business development and market promotion. Secondly, we will "internalize our expertise" and excel in providing professional legal services in the digital economy. This includes organizing regular studies on new laws and regulations, consistently liaising with clients or industry associations to understand their needs, periodically organizing training on articulating opinions and project presentations to improve public speaking skills, and encouraging all members to write commentaries and publish papers. Lastly, we will focus on the construction of the firm with a breakthrough in digital economy. We will introduce data compliance business information tools and train our specialized team of digital economy lawyers.

The rapid development of the digital economy presents Landing with new opportunities and challenges in our quest for “absolute specialization, strong internationalization, and relative scaling” in legal services. Landing attorneys can leverage digital technology and capitalize on the dividends of the digital economy to meet client needs, enhance their professional skills and service levels, and achieve intelligent, efficient, and standardized legal services. Moreover, Landing attorneys must discern the legal trends and conflicts brought about by the digital economy. We must continuously learn and innovate to adapt to and lead the demands and changes of legal services in the digital era.
