    As spring returns and warmth gradually spreads, a new chapter unfolds at the dawn of a fresh year.

    At the time of bidding farewell to the old and hello to the new, on behalf of Beijing DOCVIT Law Firm, I would like to extend my sincerest New Year wishes to our esteemed leaders, clients, partners, and fellow practitioners, as well as all DOCVIT staff who have supported us all along.

    Reflecting on 2025: March Forward Diligently, Pursue Dreams Unceasingly

    This year, the global headquarters of DOCVIT was inaugurated on the 58th floor of the FFC, with the brand-new landmark carrying DOCVIT’s mission and dreams.

    This year, we successfully merged with Beijing Huanzhong & Partners (BHP), gathering first-class strength in the fields of international arbitration and litigation.

    This year, keeping pace with the wave of Chinese enterprises "going global", DOCVIT’s overseas footprint has expanded from Southeast Asia to the Middle East, from Europe to the Americas and Africa, with its service network continuously extending.

    Looking Ahead to 2026: Fear No Hardships, Embracing Changes

    In the AI era, opportunities and challenges coexist.

    DOCVIT will steadfastly pursue the path of internationalization, deepen its overseas footprint, and refine its global service network.

    DOCVIT will consistently advance the drive toward specialization, consolidate its strengths in core practice areas, and expand into emerging business sectors.

    We will resolutely strengthen DOCVIT’s brand influence, to develop a premier brand-driven international law firm.

    We will unwaveringly adhere to the principle of corporate and integrated management.

    Far and Wide Though, Endeavor Will Carry Us Through

    DOCVIT people have never lacked the courage to face headwinds, the wisdom to pioneer and innovate, and the resolve to pursue excellence.

    A journey of ten thousand miles sees each of us forge ahead with our own pursuit; on the path to global reach, we share the same aspirations.

    In the new year, let us embrace changes with steady conviction, serve clients with greater professionalism, and step onto the world stage with broader vision. Let us stand side by side, with steady perseverance. Chasing Dreams On New Journey!

    • 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?
