    Miss ZHANG Ting, the director of the International Business Department and senior partner of Beijing Docvit Law Firm, and the visiting scholar at University of Cambridge, delivered a keynote speech titled The Internationalization Road of Chinese Enterprises in Cambridge CFT Chinese School on March 23, 2019. This event is the 31st lecture in the lecture series of the "Cambridge China Scholars' Forum"and is also a farewell speech of ZHANG Ting at University of Cambridge. 

    Miss ZHANG Ting is the rare scholar who was invited to pay an academic visit as a lawyer. She first talked about her academic direction and achievements during her visit in University of Cambridge. She did two academic studies in University of Cambridge: the one is related to overseas investment by Chinese enterprises and related legal issues of the "Belt and Road"; the other is the comparative study between the Chinese Trust Law and UK Trust Law and its impact on the development of family offices. She believes that the international community should break the series of misunderstandings of Chinese enterprises going global, and hopes to contribute to the development of domestic trust institutions and charitable trusts through the study of mature trust systems in UK. 

    The lecture given by Miss ZHANG Ting is divided into four parts, including the main structure of the internationalization of Chinese enterprises, regulation and analysis, legal risks and dispute resolution. She analyzed the main directions of Chinese enterprises' overseas investment, overseas listing, international engineering and foreign trade, and shared many previous classic cases. At the same time, she analyzed the hot issues at present, such as: Brexit's influences on the trade and investment of Chinese enterprises in Europe and the UK, and the analysis of the potential consequences of Chinese enterprises' product liability, contract performance, applicable laws and dispute resolution; The Foreign Investment Law, which was just introduced on March 15, 2019, interprets the intellectual property protection and the levy provisions of foreign investors' investment in China. 

    Subsequently, ZHANG Ting set up discussions on various issues with the participating scholars. This lecture is also a farewell speech of ZHANG Ting at University of Cambridge. Finally, Miss Zhang expressed her nostalgia for the good times in University of Cambridge and gratitude to the scholars, teachers and friends from all walks of life during the academic visiting.

    • Preventing corporate governance risks under new Company Law2024-07-03
      The new Company Law promotes the transformation of corporate governance from shareholder primacy to director primacy. This imposes governance responsibility on entrepreneurs such as directors, supervisors, officers (DSOs) and actual controllers of a company, increasing their risk of performing duties with their personal property at stake. Therefore, reducing the risk of entrepreneurs and their families facing compensation over corporate governance is of great concern.
    • How to deal with the failures to fulfill duty of diligence?2021-10-25
      Both party A and party B are shareholders of company a, with a accounting for 30% of the shares and B for a state-owned enterprise holding company, accounting for 50% of the shares. Mr. Li is a director appointed by company B to company a, and also the head of financial department of company A. At the beginning of 2021, party A learned that there was still 1 million yuan of capital contribution of company B due but not paid in, and Mr. Li never called on company B according to his duty when he clearly learned that company B did not fulfill his obligation of capital contribution. In addition, Li used his authority to change the management authority of company A's office system, adjust the relevant processes and procedures of the company's internal management, and put pressure on the employees without reason, resulting in the failure of company A's normal operation for three consecutive months. In view of Li's behavior, how should company a and shareholders a protect the rights and interests of the company and themselves?
    • Voting rights can be restricted if shareholders fail to invest?2021-08-24
      In recent years, the competition for corporate control has become more and more intense. The form of competition is no longer confined to the background, but gradually moved to the stage. In order to fight for corporate control, the disputes about the representation of corporate will caused by the internal power struggle in commercial cases are increasing. Voting right has also become the focus of contention among shareholders. If they fail to fulfill the obligation of capital contribution on schedule, there are serious differences among shareholders about whether their voting right can be limited. In the absence of special provisions in the articles of association, should shareholders vote according to the proportion of paid in capital contribution or the proportion of subscribed capital contribution?
