On November 28, 2024, an exchange symposium for heads of certain law firms under the District Lawyers Work Committee was successfully held in Shanghai. Mr. Xi Zhengyu, Partner of Shanghai Runyi Law Firm and Member of the District Lawyers Work Committee, presided over the symposium.

During the symposium, the attending lawyer representatives spoke actively, fostering a lively and engaging atmosphere of communication. The meeting actively responded to the opinions put forward by the 12th District Lawyers Work Committee of Putuo District regarding the healthy development of the legal profession: first, deepening the leadership of Party building to consolidate the spirit of the lawyer team. It is necessary to strengthen the Party building within the legal profession, using Party building as a lever to promote firm building and team building, and to facilitate the deep integration of Party building and professional development; second, leveraging the construction of the legal service district to support the innovative development of legal technology. More law firms should be guided to research, develop, and promote various legal technology products, continuously expand the application scenarios of legal technology, and achieve a "win-win" goal for both the legal profession and the technology innovation industry; third, enhancing the performance of duties and responsibilities to accelerate the quality and pace of development of the legal profession.

The meeting promoted the effective fulfillment of industry self-discipline and management responsibilities, further optimized the structure of law firms, intensified the recruitment and cultivation of talent, and focused on building brand-name firms and specialized firms, thereby establishing a high-quality development pattern for the Putuo legal profession characterized by leading entities, industry-wide striving, and overall improvement. Shanghai Runyi Law Firm will also actively respond to the call to elevate the development of the legal profession to a new level.
