On a grand journey, Dacheng Law Offices (Dacheng) forge ahead, amidst the ebb and flow of tides.

From June 28 to 30, 2024, Dacheng Law Offices held its 2024 Dacheng Partner Meeting in grand style in Qingdao, Shandong. Qingdao, a coastal city where elegance and modernity intertwine, pulses with a vibrant spirit of innovation, leading the vast waves of the northern economy. The essence of Dacheng embodies this same philosophy: being deeply rooted in rich heritage while brave in pursuing innovation, driving transformation through wisdom and courage, and writing a new chapter by standing at the forefront and continually breaking new ground.

Gathering strength from all directions

The Partner Conference spanned three days, bringing together nearly 1,300 partners from Dacheng's 49 offices across China. Against the backdrop of a new era, participants focused on the challenges and emerging opportunities facing the industry. Through the collision and fusion of ideas, consensus was built, invigorating the spirit of partnership. Participants collectively charted a new development blueprint, aiming to usher in a new era of innovation and growth together.

On June 28, accompanied by the solemn national anthem and the fluttering of the national flag in the venue, the conference officially kicked off.

Yuan Huazhi, Director and Chairman of the China Region Board of Dacheng Law Offices, presented the firm's work report themed "What Makes Dacheng Great: Knowledgeable Professionals in Harmonious Collaboration." His report began by analyzing the current development trends in the legal profession, then introduced the work measures that the current management has implemented since its establishment two years ago, and proposed Dacheng's future development strategies and goals.

Yuan Huazhi conducted a thorough analysis of the competitive landscape and development trends in the legal profession. Facing the intensifying competition in the legal profession, Dacheng has been continuously enhancing its service quality and efficiency through strategic measures such as specialized reform, digital transformation, and international development, further consolidating its leading position in the legal services industry. When looking ahead to future development, Yuan Huazhi proposed the strategic goal of building Dacheng into a world-class law firm and elaborated on the firm's development plans surrounding this goal, focusing on aspects such as strategic capability, professional expertise, governance, talent acquisition, innovation, and brand influence. He particularly emphasized the significance of the partnership spirit, advocating that partners should collectively bear risks and development responsibilities and share their resources, knowledge, benefits, and achievements to ensure Dacheng's sustainable development and the collective prosperity of its partners.

In his report, Yuan Huazhi summarized Dacheng's work measures over the past two years. Under the leadership of the new management, the firm has made significant progress in areas such as organizational development, strategic planning, and specialized reform. Notably, Dacheng has also achieved breakthroughs in digital transformation, enhancing service efficiency and quality through the application of platform-based and intelligent tools.

The report concluded by emphasizing the intention of Dacheng Law Offices to continually uphold the "Dacheng" spirit and utilize the partnership spirit as its bond and innovation as its driving force to steadily advance towards the goal of building itself into a world-class law firm.

The exceptional efforts of the management have laid a solid foundation for Dacheng's growth. On the afternoon of June 28, the conference heard the work report of the China Region Management.

Wang Jun, Chairman of the China Region Advisory Committee of Dacheng, represented the committee in reviewing its overall performance since its establishment,  alongside all participating partners, and elaborated and shared the current implementation status and future work vision, with discussion centered around the strategic approach to moderate and high-quality scaling up of the firm.

Wang Jun emphasized that over the past two years, the advisory committee had actively fulfilled its functions, passed various important proposals with the strong support of all committee members and offices across China, ensured the normal operation and smooth day-to-day functioning of the firm, and played a crucial role in guiding Dacheng on a steady course. Additionally, in alignment with the development objectives in Dacheng's "Fifth Five-Year Plan," a dedicated task force has been established to research the construction and institutional systems of the firm's offices. Through field visits, surveys, and guidance, the task force is progressively advancing the establishment of domestic offices, ensuring the steady, moderate, and high-quality development of new offices while enhancing the construction, management, and overall performance of existing offices. In the future, Dacheng will build a multi-tiered, comprehensive legal service cooperation ecosystem centered around the firm, following the principles of co-construction, sharing, symbiosis, and mutual prosperity. It aims to fully leverage global resources and harness local wisdom to develop its operations in a uniquely Chinese manner.

Looking ahead, the advisory committee will continue to play an advisory role in the firm's decision-making process, monitor Dacheng's efforts in scaling up, maintain effective communication and coordination with each office, and foster consensus and concerted efforts to ensure that Dacheng remains a leader in the development of the legal profession in China.

Jiang Rongqing, Director of the China Region Supervisory Committee of Dacheng, presented the committee's work report to all partners. The report centered on the principles of "performance supervision as the focus, standardized and integrated operations as the foundation, and four key areas of work as priorities," comprehensively summarizing the committee's activities and achievements.

The report began by emphasizing the supervisory committee's critical role within Dacheng's unique management framework of "discussing, deciding, executing, and supervising," which equals an important guarantee for trust among partners and democratic governance within the firm. Through performance supervision, the supervisory committee ensures compliance in decision-making and execution processes. Moreover, it has established a full-process supervision mechanism that has evolved from Version 1.0, which is characterized by daring to supervise, to Version 2.0, which encompasses pre-event, in-event, and post-event supervision, and finally to Version 3.0, which incorporates performance reporting and assessment for the management. Through continuous optimization of its operational model, the supervisory committee has achieved effective supervision. The report also mentioned that the supervisory committee has boosted the firm's internal cooperation expectations and confidence through its standardized and integrated operations, playing a crucial role in Dacheng's transformation from a large firm to a powerful one. Based on the annual work focus, the supervisory committee has prioritized key areas of work, including self-construction, risk control supervision, professional supervision, and financial supervision, ensuring the smooth implementation of Dacheng's specialized reforms and safeguarding the firm's risk control thresholds. The report concluded by noting that the supervisory committee highlighted work discipline and ensured orderly and democratic work practices with the establishment of regular meeting systems, work checklist systems, shift rotation systems, and designated responsibility systems. In terms of financial supervision, the supervisory committee has refined its operational mechanisms, ensuring rational budget formulation and execution, thereby enhancing partners' trust in the management.

Dai Xin, Head of the China Region Management Committee, represented the committee in reviewing its main achievements over the past two years and outlined the committee's future work objectives.

The management committee's report first focused on the establishment of an operational management system centered around financial accounting. This system is designed not only to enhance the firm's capacity for scientific decision-making but also to assist in optimizing resource allocation and effectively mitigating operational risks. By advancing the integration of finance and business, we have provided strong data support for our firm's professional development and business growth. The report points out that the current management committee will conduct management while delivering services and implement the firm's new development strategy based on "three points, six elements, eight orientations, and ten lines". It will strive to facilitate the firm's enhancement in expertise and strengthening of core competency by focusing on the tasks of professionalization, digitalization, and platform building and taking such measures as assisting in establishing new professional institutions, optimizing digital platforms, and building a talent coordination mechanism. Besides, the management committee will promote the firm's building of offices and assist in its moderate-scale development and legal service market expansion. It will continue undertaking brand promotion. Through new website upgrades, ESG report releases, and the utilization of new media platforms, it has managed to enhance the firm's brand visibility and influence.

The report finally proposes the management committee's following work priorities, including the deep integration of business and finance, the dual drive of professionalization and digitalization, the balance between commonalities and individuality in execution, and unimpeded communication and feedback. Through these efforts, the management committee aims to promote the firm's refined operations and service management, thereby driving Dacheng towards the goal of building itself into a world-class law firm.

The management committee's work report is not only a review and summary of past work but also a mobilization and commitment of Dacheng to its future development. The entire partners enthusiastically applauded the management of Dacheng for its efforts in promoting the firm's development, strengthening its internal management, ensuring its service quality, and making strategies for its long-term development.

The partner conference specially invited Wang Zhongde, Honorary Chairman of the Dacheng Global Network Joint Conference, Honorary Managing Partner of Dacheng, and President of the Dacheng International Legal Services Research Institute, to take the stage and deliver a speech.

President Wang Zhongde praised the work report presented by Yuan Huazhi. He believed that the report comprehensively, objectively, and scientifically summarizes the experience gained since the establishment of Dacheng, thoroughly encapsulates the firm's top ten advantages in the industry, and outlines the grand blueprint for Dacheng's future development. The report reveals the development laws and future trends of the Chinese legal industry from Dacheng's growth trajectory. Wang Zhongde emphasized that Dacheng has created a unique operation and management model by integrating democracy, the rule of law, and high technologies in its ecosystem. In addition, it has set up a strategic and foundational platform for every lawyer to realize their personal value and professional ideals and a favorable environment for lawyers to grow into expert and even super-expert individuals. The Dacheng model possesses tremendous vitality and infinite space for the unrestrained growth of lawyers. What Dacheng currently needs most is to establish a scientific and reasonable cooperation mechanism among these strong individual experts. Wang Zhongde highly praised Yuan Huazhi's statement that "Dacheng's overall strategy will be castles in the air without a digital operation platform." Wang Zhongde believed that the digital operation platform is the key to implementing Dacheng's overall strategy, the primary carrier of the firm's operation and management, the venue for Dacheng to integrate online and offline activities, and the indispensable path to achieve Dacheng's integration. Wang Zhongde emphasized that Dacheng's top priority is to accelerate the construction of its digital operation platform.

Wang Zhongde reviewed Dacheng's achievements in the past and provided profound insights into the future, offering strategic ideas for Dacheng's development of the next step.
