    Foreword: On October 14, 2017, “New Intelligence·New Brand·New Alliance——2017 2nd China Emerging Legal Service Industry Forum” was successfully held in Shanghai. Liu Guangchao, Director of Beijing DOCVIT Law Firm and Secretary General of Green Legal Global Alliance, was invited to attend and delivered a wonderful speech. This Forum was jointly organized by Shanghai Law Society, East China University of Political Sciences and Law and lvxinnews and attended by over 200persons, including practitioners of domestic emerging legal service industry as well as persons from universities, colleges, enterprises, law firms, investment community and media. In the meeting, the first domestic legal service industry research center, the first legal service industry public welfare alliance and the first legal service industry investment fund (under preparation) in China were established.


    In the Forum, Tang Bo, Vice President of East China University of Political Sciences and Law, Guo Weiqing, Vice President of Higher People’s Court of Shanghai Municipality, and Lin Guoping, Executive Vice Chairman of Shanghai Law Society, delivered speeches. In the keynote speech, multiple institutional representatives of emerging legal service industry shared their field experience. Director Liu Guangchao gave his comments and interaction around the Forum theme and sharing content. He said that, “In recent years, continuous innovation of emerging technologies promoted profound transformation of industrial structure of China. Driven by big data, AI and other technologies, China’s legal service industry entered a new era of innovation and transformation, and the new dynamics released by the cross-border integration among industries opened a new pattern for legal industry. In this context, by positively embracing Internet and facing challenges in the wave of transformation, China’s legal service industry takes a road of new legal service with the Chinese characteristics under the increasingly complex market environment.” He mentioned that, “The legal industry driven by technology reveals brand-new industrial features and market demand. The lawyers group should stick to the legal belief, pay attention to overall industrial operation while pursuing own development, build the industrial community and promote the cross-border integration and development of legal community and other social industries so as to generate a powerful force and play a role in the construction of rule of law in China and promoting the healthy and benign operation of legal cause.”


    During the integration between law and Internet, big data, AI, etc., the emerging legal service industry was born. More and more legal persons and organizations have raised the legal service efficiency and applicability and explored the new growth points of legal industry by applying technology. In order to provide powerful support for the development of China’s legal industry, in the Forum, ECUPL China legal service industry research center, lvxinnews and Green Legal Global Alliance set up the first legal service industry investment fund (under preparation) in China. Liu Guangchao, Secretary General of Green Legal Global Alliance, delivered a keynote speech of “How Investors Treat the Start-up of Legal Service Industry”, which fully interpreted the important role of industrial investment funds for the development of emerging legal service industry. He said that, “Developing the industrial investment funds has important practical significance for China’s legal service market. The legal service industry plays a great role in promoting normal national operation, safeguarding social fairness and justness and driving the healthy and orderly development of market economy. As the first domestic cross-border alliance centering on law, Green Legal Global Alliance will continuously promote the integrated development of law and other social industries during its operation, explore and stimulate the release of huge energy of law in cross-border and build a green three-dimensional legal ecosphere by pooling the efforts of the whole industry. The first legal service industry investment fund in China established today will provide guarantee for further development of vast excellent emerging legal service institutions in China and stimulate new dynamics for exploring the legal industry blue ocean at a deep level, boosting the industrial innovation and breakthrough and leading the new direction of China’s legal cause.”


    Along with the continuous alteration of technology, China’s legal industry is facing unprecedented challenges and choice in the new wave. The disrupting power brought by AI will impel more legal persons to continuously break through the conventional thoughts and seek the path of innovative survival. In face of such trend, more and more legal service institutions are breaking the industrial barriers and positively conducting cross-border with other social industries in combination with technological strength so as to inject new vitality in the healthy and sustainable development of rule of law in China. Through industrial dialog and exchange around new intelligence, new brand and new alliance and the establishment of the first legal service industry investment fund in China, the Forum made positive and profitable exploration and practice for the healthy and sustainable development of China’s legal cause and set a good pace for the new ecology of China’s legal service industry.

    • 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?
