At Landing Law Offices Shanghai, Directors Tian Lei, Wang Jianyong and other partners warmly received the training camp delegation.

Nanjing University | Visit to the China-Germany Institute of Law

At the Law School of Nanjing University, the faculty arranged a special forum to welcome the delegation. The participants toured the teaching and research facilities of the Law School and visited the China-Germany Institute of Law. Jointly established by Nanjing University and the University of Göttingen in Germany, the institute has long been committed to comparative Sino-German legal research and the training of foreign-related legal talents, serving as a key platform for foreign-related rule-of-law research at Nanjing University Law School. The two sides held discussions covering foreign-related legal research, lawyer training and practical cooperation. They explored ways to further integrate university legal education with legal practice, and exchanged views on translating foreign-related legal research findings into practice and cultivating practical legal talents.

Nanjing Normal University | Focusing on the Cultivation of Foreign-related Legal Talents

The training camp visited Nanjing Normal University and toured its Law School, School of Foreign-related Rule of Law and Foreign Law Verification Service Center. On the electronic screen in the meeting room of the school, the welcome banner “Warmly Welcome Leaders and Experts from the Xuzhou Foreign-related Legal Talent Training Camp” stood out prominently. During the forum, both sides conducted thorough exchanges on topics including foreign-related legal talent training, lawyer training and foreign-related practical cooperation. They shared experience and exchanged ideas on collaborative training of foreign-related legal talents and the practice of foreign law verification, and discussed deepening university-local and university-firm cooperation in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

Foreign-related Legal Service Hub | Experiencing the “Nanjing Practice” of Diversified Dispute Resolution

The delegation visited Jiangsu (Nanjing) Foreign-related Legal Service Center to witness the systematic development of foreign-related legal services in Nanjing. Participants visited the Jiangsu Representative Office of the Asia-Pacific International Arbitration Institute (Singapore), Purple Mountain International Commercial Mediation Institute and Nanjing International Commercial Arbitration Center, institutions for diversified resolution of foreign-related disputes. They learned about innovative platforms such as the Nanjing Foreign-related Notarization Service Alliance, the multi-tier dispute resolution platform for international commercial and maritime disputes, and the Jiangsu-Hong Kong Legal and Business Integration Platform. They also viewed legal technology products for foreign-related matters, gaining first-hand insight into Nanjing’s full-chain service system covering foreign-related notarization, arbitration, mediation and legal technology. The diversified dispute resolution framework integrating arbitration, mediation, notarization and legal technology offers valuable references for Xuzhou lawyers developing foreign-related practices.

This study tour constitutes an important initiative of the Xuzhou legal community to build up its foreign-related legal talent pool. It provides a valuable platform for Xuzhou lawyers to learn advanced experience and broaden their international legal vision. Director Li Jingjing of our firm took part in the whole tour and established sound connections with all visited organizations. Taking this study tour as an opportunity, our firm will continue to strengthen its foreign-related legal service team, upgrade capabilities in cross-border dispute resolution and foreign-related practice, and contribute professional strength to support enterprises “Going Global” and the development of foreign-related rule of law.
