On the afternoon of December 12, 2017, Lu Weidong, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Municipal Bureau of Justice, led a research team to the Putuo Lawyers Notary Office to conduct research and held a symposium on the theme of "The Path to Boutique Development of Small and Medium-Sized Law Firms in the New Era." Representatives from several law firms in the city shared their insights and experiences regarding the boutique development of law firms.

Jin Bingyi, Managing Partner of Shanghai Runyi Law Firm, delivered an insightful speech at the meeting, stating that the boutique development of small and medium-sized law firms in the new era cannot be achieved without enhanced cooperation among such firms across the city. He emphasized the need to establish a highly collaborative platform, particularly to form synergies in highly specialized legal fields, thereby promoting the development of the legal profession, serving regional rule-of-law construction, and safeguarding the needs of the people. The views of Managing Partner Jin Bingyi received unanimous recognition from the municipal leaders and other lawyer representatives present.

Finally, Lu Weidong, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Municipal Bureau of Justice, also put forward new requirements for the Putuo lawyers and notary work, hoping to further leverage its advantages in the industry to better serve regional economic and social development.
