At the beginning of summer, the city of Suzhou was drizzled and moist. At the invitation of Law School of Soochow University, Lawyer Yixing Liu, Director of the Global Management Committee of Landing Law Offices, gave a lecture to the students of Soochow University on the theme of "Blue Ocean and Growth Path of Chinese Foreign Lawyers" . All seats are occupied, lawyer Yixing Liu was humorous and manoeuvred, and the atmosphere was very active.

The lecture starts with the development of China's foreign-related lawyer industry, and describes the pain points and misunderstandings of foreign-related lawyers' development; how to resolve the pain points and find the blue ocean of foreign-related lawyers? Based on years of experience in overseas investment legal services, Lawyer Liu proposed to the young students of Soochow University that there are new opportunities in the new era, they should respond to the "One Belt, One Road" policy, keep up with the wave of Chinese enterprises "going out", and put their goals on developing country, occupying the blue ocean of the overseas legal service market, realizes the possibility of overtaking European and American lawyers in a corner.
 

Based on his optimism for the legal service market in developing countries along the “Belt and Road”, Landing put forward the development concept of “strong internationalization”, merged well-known foreign local law firms, and dispatched domestic professional lawyers, so as to truly be dominated by Chinese lawyers and provide a full range of legal services for Chinese people and Chinese enterprises overseas.
   

It is precisely because Landing is deeply involved in the field of legal services for overseas investment that Tencent has actively entrusted Landing to undertake its legal services in six countries in Southeast Asia and South Asia; in the bidding of many well-known domestic and international law firms, Landing broke through the siege and was successfully selected into Weichai Power's overseas legal service database in the African and Indian markets, which are real examples of Landing's differentiated operating advantages. At present, Landing provides a full range of high-quality legal services for overseas investment and trade of hundreds of China's top 500 companies, including China Railway, China State Construction, Xiaomi, Tencent, and Weichai.
 

Landing's unique development path and Lawyer Yixing Liu's unique insights won rounds of applause from the audience present. Mr. Haikun Yang, Former Dean of Soochow University Law School, retired professor, and doctoral supervisor, made a special comment on the lecture content, and believed that Lawyer Yixing Liu's views were novel, which was very inspiring to both current students and young people who are about to enter the legal industry and Lawyer Yixing Liu proposed a new development idea, Landing's professional development model is very enlightening for the construction of discipline specialization in law schools.
   

In the interactive session, some students said that they came from Tongji University in the rain after seeing the lecture information, just to see the demeanor of Lawyer Liu; some lawyers were directly impressed by Yixing Liu's charm, and asked on the spot "the conditions for joining Landing"; Lawyer Yixing Liu carefully introduced Landing's development philosophy of "absolute specialization, strong internationalization, and relative scale". Landing's most important consideration for joining lawyers is "professionalism", and joining lawyers must abide by "one main and two auxiliary".

Specialization is Landing's universal value. Professional matters are entrusted to a professional team. The purpose of specialization is not only to improve service quality, but also to avoid conflicts of interest and vicious internal competition brought about by the scale of law firms. At present, Landing has established many professional legal service teams, including overseas investment, wealth inheritance, sports entertainment, intellectual property, capital market, TMT, etc., led by experienced partners, equipped with professional lawyers and assistants to provide clients with professional services. At the same time, each team supports each other and shares resources to ensure clients receive the best professional services.
 

The two-hour lecture ended quickly, with light rain outside the window, and the discussion was still in full swing. The new fans surrounded Lawyer Liu and continued to discuss the blue ocean of Chinese lawyers in the field of foreign investment legal services.
