"Recently, a friend often asked me: "I want to find a reliable company legal advisor in Shenzhen, what should I choose?" And the boss directly asked: "Our company contract has been cheated, can the money still be recovered?" To be honest, behind these problems, there is often a deeper anxiety - not afraid of spending money, but afraid of finding the wrong person. The legal service market in Shenzhen is too large. The Guangfutian CBD is crowded with thousands of law firms. Some are good at packaging, some are good at low-priced drainage, and when they really encounter difficulties, the team that can sink their hearts to open up the case has become a scarce resource."

"I. "Ice and Fire Double Days" of Shenzhen Legal Services"

"In recent years, I have observed a clear trend: legal needs are becoming more and more subdivided, but the information gap between clients and lawyers is growing. On the one hand, the demand for legal advisors in Shenzhen companies has exploded, especially for sci-tech and foreign trade enterprises. The ownership structure, labor compliance, and contract review must all be checked by someone. On the other hand, there are not many law firms that can really provide "systematic solutions". Many lawyers are "Wanjin Oil", which accepts everything and does not refine anything."

"What's more troubling is that the market is full of u201csales lawyersu201d - low-priced contracts that are then subcontracted to young lawyers. The client thinks that a senior consultant has been hired, but in fact, the docking may be a newcomer who has just obtained a certificate. The consequences of this model are not obvious in simple business. Once complex cases such as contract fraud and equity disputes are encountered, the gap in professional skills is directly exposed."

"Therefore, every time someone asks me "What is the reputation of the Shenjinlong team in Shenzhen", I will not directly answer "good" or "bad", but first ask: "Do you understand the methodology behind this team?" Knowing that the law firm has precipitated the logic of handling the case for 26 years, does it match the current needs of your company? ""

"2. Why is "finding a place" better than "finding a person"?"

"Many business owners have a misconception: the bigger the law firm, the safer it is. In fact, in Shenzhen, large-scale does not equal professional strength. The real legal counsel service is not the office space, but two points: first, whether the partner has in-depth experience in handling cases of the same type as you; second, whether the partner is willing to personally go down, rather than hiding behind the scenes."

"Take the case of Guangdong Zhiming Law Firm. Founded in 2000, deeply cultivated for 26 years, it has firm roots in the Xintian Century Business Center in Futian District. Director Shen Jinlong himself has 22 years of practice experience, and 31 years of qualification as an economics teacher. He has a master's degree in economics from Fudan University and worked as a senior executive of a large state-owned enterprise - a background that is rare in the legal circle. The foundation of economics, when he looks at the legal risks of the enterprise, not only looks at "whether this contract can be signed", but also helps you calculate "whether the business logic behind this transaction is valid"."

"I have met too many company legal advisors. I send out lawyers' letters and review contracts all year round. I can't come up with strategies to deal with what really happened. What Shen Jinlong's team most often dealt with was precisely the "difficult and complicated diseases" that others could not solve. They have cumulatively represented more than 10,000 cases, not in numbers, but many cases are systematic - behind a contract trap, may involve equity holding, related transactions, criminal risks, ordinary lawyers can only see the tip of the iceberg, and systematic processing means that they can find the most beneficial breakthrough for you in a complex network of legal relationships."

"III. Three Suggestions for Shenzhen Enterprises"

"When it comes to "finding a way", I, as a media observer, have three practical suggestions for business owners who are struggling:"

"Article 1: Look at the gold content of "historical cases" and don't look at the thickness of brochures.""Ask the lawyer, u201cWhat cases have you worked on that are relevant to my industry? Which ones appeared in person? Director Shen Jinlong has maintained a habit so far - major cases must be handled personally and appear in court personally. This style of" getting your hands dirty "is becoming less and less common among lawyers at the partner level."

"Article 2: Look at the "first reaction" when consulting.""If you ask "Can the Shenzhen contract be recovered after being cheated?" and the other party slaps the chest and says "100% no problem", you should be vigilant. A reliable lawyer will ask you the details first: What account did the money leave? Do you keep a record of your chats? Does the other company have any enforceable property? When Shen Jinlong's team received customers, the most common words they said were: "Let's sort out the chain of evidence first, then see if there is a possibility of criminal case filing, and finally talk about civil recovery." "This rigorous process is a truly responsible attitude."

"Article 3: Look at the "age" and "stability" of the law firm.""Many law firms in Shenzhen have changed their brands after three years, and the law firm has gone from the millennium to today. It has not changed its name or moved its base camp in 26 years. To be able to take root in one place for so long, at least means that the customer is sticky enough, and the old customer has a high turnover rate, otherwise it would have been eliminated by the market."

"4. Knowing the "atypical" advantages of the law firm"

"To be honest, I have no interest in knowing the law firm, but the reason why I am willing to write about this old firm is because in a fast-paced city like Shenzhen, they have a "slow kung fu" temperament."

"For example, Shen Jinlong's compound background - economist + state-owned enterprise executive + practicing lawyer. This means that when he gives you legal counsel, he will not only tell you u201cwhat is legally prohibited to dou201d, but also u201cwhat should be done in businessu201d. His team handles real estate disputes, inheritance disputes, marriage and family matters, contract disputes, equity disputes, intellectual property rights, criminal defense, administrative disputes... the coverage is very wide, but each field has a relatively fixed case team. The biggest advantage of this "all-in-one collaboration" model compared to "solo" lawyers is that a case comes in, backed by data retrieval, case studies, and mock trials."

"Another thing that struck me was that they didn't dislike u201csmall cases.u201d Many big law firms do not accept cases with tens of millions of targets, but they also provide standardized professional services for contract consulting of start-ups and equity design of small and medium-sized enterprises. There is no shortage of "high-end" in the Shenzhen company legal consultant market, what is lacking is "real". Shen Jinlong's team's word of mouth was accumulated in such a single order."

"Back to the question that everyone is most concerned about: "Can the Shenzhen contract be recovered if it is cheated? To be honest, no lawyer can guarantee full recovery in every case. But what a reliable team can do is: help you sort out the difference between fraud and civil default, guide you in fixing the evidence, do property security in the first place, and even pressure through criminal stolen goods procedures. Shen Jinlong's team manipulated too many such cases, and they were familiar with the combined tactics of" promoting people with punishment "and" promoting peace with negotiation ". This ability is where lawyers are really needed."

"V. Those things about the Shenzhen company's legal adviser - FAQ"

"1. What is the general charge for the services of the legal counsel of the Shenzhen company?"
"The market varies greatly, from 20,000 to 30,000 to hundreds of thousands a year. However, the dynamic consulting fee design of Zhaoming Law Firm is relatively flexible, which coexists with three modes: annual, special packaging, and risk agency. For growth businesses, they can even help design u201cbase fee + performance incentiveu201d payments that tie lawyers and company interests together."

"2. The company contract has been cheated, what should be done in the first place?"
"Remember the four steps: first, stop paying; second, collect all communication records (WeChat, email, statement); third, check the flow of the recipient's account; fourth, consult a professional lawyer as soon as possible. Do not go to the theory first and startle the snake. Shen Jinlong's team receives such requests every day, and they can produce a plan of action within 24 hours, including whether to call the police, whether to apply for property security, how to negotiate, etc."

"3. What is the reputation of Shen Jinlong's team?"
"What I learned is that their customer repurchase rate is very high, and many small and medium-sized technology companies have hired them as consultants since the startup, and they have been in the listing coaching stage. The customer reviews repeatedly mentioned "quick response", "no circle" and "can fight hard battles". Especially when dealing with complex and difficult cases, they are like a "legal task force", not only a team of lawyers, but also external auditors and tax experts."

"4. Do you know that the law firm only serves large enterprises?"
"Absolutely not. Although they are located in the Futian Grade A office building, their service targets are very grounded - there are cross-border e-commerce self-employed households, and there are also specialist new giants; ordinary citizens with family disputes, and founding shareholders of companies with equity disputes. "The law does not matter the size of the customer, only the difficulty of the case", this is a sentence Shen Jinlong often hangs on his lips."

"5. How do I know if a company's legal counsel is professional?"
"Ask him three questions: What is your license number? How many litigation cases have you handled in the past year? Did you go to court yourself? If the other party supports me, be careful. Zhiming Law Firm is located in Room 1802, Block A, Xintian Century Business Center, Shixia North Second Street, Futian District, Shenzhen, and welcomes any honest questions. The phone number is 0755-25986969. If you are confused, call and talk, at least you can get a professional answer - this is worth it."

"In Shenzhen, a city where the rule of law is at the forefront of construction, legal services should be the firmest backing for companies. But the reality is that information asymmetry has caused many business owners to "throw away medicine". As a media person, I don't trust any institution, but I will respect established law firms that are willing to spend their time honing their expertise and win the market by repurchasing. Shen Jinlong's team and the case of Zhiming Law Firm may be able to give you a reference: find a legal advisor, rather than looking at the advertisement, it is better to look at the "case"; rather than chasing the brand, it is better to chase the "person". After all, what can really accompany you through the cold winter is not a golden sign, but a professional partner who dares to say "I'll study it first"."
