I wish Shengdian colleagues and leaders, guests and friends a happy New Year in Year of the Snake!

Hundreds of boats compete for the current, unique.The reform of the partnership system of the law firm has been carried out for more than 30 years. The firm basically follows a sage-style governance and management system-one or several industry leaders act as founders and continue to act as managers to lead the firm forward. The reputation of the founder (director) complements the development of the firm. The inheritance of management power is often carried out between the founders or their mentors. In order to give priority to efficiency, the management power of the management committee (director) is often superior to the governance power of the partner meeting. In contrast, Shengdian was created and developed on the basis of merger, with cooperation and equality as the foundation of the establishment, system construction as the foundation of the establishment, and professional refinement and prosperous business as the strong contribution. For more than 20 years, the director and management team have been replaced for five years. The law firm has always moved forward. If the model of elite and leading law firms is compared to the sage governance system, the governance model of Shengdian is close to the republican system, that is, relying on the operation and management of the system, and everyone is in harmony and symbiosis. Shengdian people come together because of the consensus of basic values, and the role of law firm director and management team is more inclined to the system model and the executor, the law firm service rather than the performance elite, the law firm controller.

Self-improvement, innovation.In recent years, the trend of capital intervention in the operation of law firms has become more and more serious, with lawyers as clients, for the purpose of profit, with capital as the link, the layout of more and more branches, the absorption of more and more lawyers (clients), the expansion of territory, the pursuit of the establishment of law firm business empire. The capital-tied law firm empire model has increased the volume and industry volume within its law firm system. In this volume environment, Shengdian Law Firm is constantly striving for self-improvement, adhering to its consistent nature, not blindly involved in the trend, and not panicking to "surrender". In response to the situation, we have made steady progress in the establishment and operation of branches, the absorption of external talents, and the support of internal young lawyers. We have implemented new policies and measures, and achieved considerable results.

Stick to the Republic, the mechanism is confident.The Republic was intended to organize public affairs through institutions, not specifically a political system. The tone, cultural background, and institutional genes determine that Shengdian people can and should adhere to the "republic" system of sharing and co-governance. We uphold the principle of equality, respect the contribution of each Shengdian colleagues, do not use status or management power as a criterion, let alone respect individual heroism. This mechanism, which is difficult to be overbearing and powerful in the short term, is firm because of its moderation and weight, and is a form of long-termism. John Adams said: "the republic is the closest to human freedom and dignity of the political system." By extension, republican law firms are more likely to uphold the freedom and dignity of lawyers. Here, we abide by the system rather than the subjective wishes of managers. The management does not have absolute authority and unlimited term of office, so the establishment of rules and regulations is centered on the interests of the majority, otherwise it cannot be passed and may be detrimental to itself in the future. Here, we encourage every lawyer to be professional and vigorous without worrying about shaking the authority or breaking through the ceiling. Here, we develop branches, guided by brand building, sharing and common prosperity, rather than seeking control and profit-making; Here, we strive to balance our operating income and expenditure. There are no capitalists who make profits from lawyers, and the management has no such profit-making motive. Therefore, Shengdian people can enjoy a highly competitive practice cost advantage. Here, colleagues who hold a public mind and are willing to serve are easily elected to the management, rather than considering the importance of prestige and the amount of performance. Here, we always stick to our first heart and mechanism. We don't need to live in the light of others.

The commitment to specialization, the intention to keep the line.Under the mechanism of Shengdian, managers have the external embodiment of the system of being respected, actually paying and revering for their public welfare, which to a large extent restrains Shengdian people's desire and realization of management rights. Here, the profession is more respected and contributions are often recognized. Shengdian Institute and Shengdian people continue to focus on one center and two basic points: to highlight legal justice as the center, to improve the profession as the basic point, and to serve customers as the basic point. Lawyers are a profession that relies on knowledge and thinking to settle down. The value of specialization may be temporarily concealed by large-scale impetuousness and commercialization hustle and bustle, but it will be discovered by wise clients. People are divided into groups, heroes cherish heroes, and specialization is a conscious two-way choice between lawyers and clients. Professional refinement, moral emphasis. In a sense, the profession determines the lower limit of the lawyer, and the client relies on the upper limit of the lawyer. Shengdian people always take the legitimate interests of customers as the conversion, virtue, law, compliance, mutual trust and mutual assistance with customers, common progress.

Hand in hand, steady and far-reaching.Regarding the economic boom, it seems that "the time for your return is not yet available. Qi Li moves forward, Mo Wen's future, rain or shine. In the face of adversity, we continue to improve professional quality, improve service capabilities, increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and consolidate the financial base of the law firm. In the face of difficulties, we should promote each other professionally, complement each other's advantages in business, fully meet the needs of customer service, take more responsibility for the law firm, less blame, and enhance mutual understanding and tolerance. We work together to develop professionally and pragmatically, to be a trusted and respected law firm and lawyer.

"If one thousand people are of one mind, one thousand people will do it!" Let's work together, strengthen our confidence and bravely step into the spring of little dragon!
