Is lawyering a new profession?

Indeed, the law is updated every year; but is lawyering a new profession?

No, this profession has existed for over 40 years, dating back to 1979.

Amid the rapid evolution of digitalization and the global landscape, the legal industry has now entered the Transformation 3.0 era.

In this era of transformation, law firms in China are facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges, necessitating urgent iterations and upgrades in areas such as operational systems, organizational structures, talent development, and business growth.

On July 16, the "Law Firm 3.0 Era: Closed-door Seminar on Reform Amidst Change," initiated by Lex Magister, was successfully held at Beijing Dacheng Law Offices, LLP.
