On July 5, 2021, Liu Yixing, the director of Shanghai Landing Law Offices, visited the Urumqi branch to share insights on "Challenges and Overseas Opportunities in the Chinese Legal Profession" with young lawyers. The sharing session was hosted by Urumqi branch director Zhong Xiaoyu and founding partner lawyer Li Tingting.

Director Liu Yixing conducted an in-depth analysis and discussion with young lawyers from the Urumqi branch on the theme of "Challenges and Overseas Opportunities in the Chinese Legal Profession." Drawing from his own professional experience, Director Liu advised young lawyers that to address challenges in their legal practice, they need to adopt a long-term perspective and delay immediate gratification. He emphasized the importance of independent thinking and aligning their career plans with the current situation in China. While domestic legal services fall within a competitive market, the legal services provided to developing countries represent the blue ocean business of the legal industry. He encouraged young lawyers to consider focusing their attention on these developing countries.

Responding to concerns raised by young lawyers about their proficiency in English for handling international cases, Director Liu stated, "As long as your English proficiency is at Level 6, enabling you to communicate via WeChat or email with foreign lawyers, you can effectively assume the responsibilities of legal affairs for overseas investment companies."

Director Liu also emphasized that young lawyers should not limit themselves to merely excelling academically or focusing solely on stability. He urged them to explore their personal interests and commit to persevering for an additional three months more than others in their chosen field, which can lead them to become experts in that area.

In the closing remarks of the sharing session, Director Liu patiently answered questions from the young lawyers, providing guidance on the blue ocean areas and expertise within the legal profession. He encouraged them to think independently, accumulate professional knowledge, and uphold the principles of "absolute professionalism, relative scalability, and strong international presence" that define Landing Law Offices.

At the conclusion of the event, Director Liu Yixing joined the young lawyers of Shanghai Landing (Urumqi) Law Offices for a group photo.
