The ceremony was attended by Ming Can, Founding Partner and Management Committee Director of Jintang Law Firm; Wang Panfeng, Firm Director; Du Zhong, Management Committee Director; Li Lei, Management Committee Member; and all staff of Jintang (Bijie) Law Firm.

Together, they witnessed another milestone in the national strategic layout of Jintang Law Firm.

Ming Can, Founding Partner and Management Committee Director of Jintang Law Firm, delivered the opening speech. She reviewed the firm’s 28 years of steady development and adherence to the rule of law, pointing out that the establishment of the Bijie branch marks a pivotal step in Jintang’s national layout. As the firm’s first branch in Guizhou Province, it serves as a strategic gateway for Jintang’s expansion into Southwest China.

She interpreted Jintang’s core values of “Being Down-to-Earth, Self-Driven, and Mutually Empowering”, highlighting the highly efficient preparation process — the entire project was completed within merely two months from initial communication to official approval, embodying the efficient and pragmatic “Jintang Speed”.

She emphasized that the partnership between the headquarters and the Bijie branch represents far more than complementary professional resources. It is built on sincerity, loyalty and brotherhood. The mutual trust forged between the two teams constitutes Jintang’s most precious spiritual asset. On behalf of the headquarters, Director Ming Can officially granted the institutional license to the Bijie branch, signifying its full adoption of the headquarters’ standardized management system and the launch of its independent localized operation.

Sun Lin, Executive Director of Jintang (Bijie) Law Firm, delivered a gratitude speech, expressing sincere thanks to Director Ming Can, the management committee and senior partners of the headquarters for their long-distance support and full assistance throughout the opening preparation. He stated that the branch had received comprehensive support from the headquarters at every stage, whose strong backing lays a solid foundation for the branch’s future development.

Director Sun Lin pledged that the Bijie branch would take root in local development, adhere to Party building guidance and compliance-based governance, and strictly abide by professional practice norms. Integrating advanced legal service experience from the Greater Bay Area with local market demands, the branch will focus on core businesses including criminal defense, civil and commercial dispute resolution, corporate compliance and administrative legal affairs to deliver high-quality boutique legal services. It will also actively participate in public interest legal education, legal aid and grassroots dispute mediation, empowering local business environment optimization and contributing to the development of Bijie with the power of the rule of law.

Subsequently, guest representatives delivered speeches in succession. Tian Chuan, Member of the China Law Society, shared insights from both legal theory and practical perspectives. He encouraged all lawyers to practice in compliance with laws, deepen professional expertise, take root in grassroots communities, engage in public legal services, and act as disseminators of the rule of law and guardians of social fairness and justice.

Li Jun, Vice President of Bijie Lawyers Association, extended warm congratulations on the firm’s opening and put forward five expectations for its future development: adhering to Party building guidance to consolidate political foundation; abiding by professional norms and practicing with integrity to set a benchmark for foreign law firms in Bijie; delivering localized professional services to serve local enterprises and residents relying on the headquarters’ comprehensive strengths; strengthening industrial collaboration with local law firms and cultivating young legal talents; and undertaking social responsibilities by deeply engaging in public legal services and grassroots governance. He stated that the municipal lawyers association would continue to build communication platforms and fully support the development of Jintang (Bijie) Law Firm.

Wu Shengguo, Executive President of Bijie Chamber of Commerce, noted that the official implementation of the Bijie Municipal Regulations on Optimizing the Business Environment in 2025 has ushered in a new phase of legalized business environment construction. The settlement of Jintang (Bijie) Law Firm is well-timed, providing solid and professional legal guarantees for local enterprises. The chamber looks forward to long-term cooperation with the firm to help enterprises prevent legal risks and boost the high-quality development of the private economy.

As a representative of local mining enterprises, Lu Jiahua from Guizhou Tianjian Mining Group expressed hopes that the firm would leverage its national chain advantages to provide inclusive legal services for mining enterprises and micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, and build a bridge of the rule of law for the industry. He extended three blessings: Sincere Cooperation, Brand-New Beginnings, and Prosperous Futures.

Mi Yong, Chairman of Bijie Tianyun Decoration & Labor Service Co., Ltd., spoke highly of Director Sun Lin’s professionalism, pragmatism and hometown dedication after years of acquaintance. He praised Jintang’s introduction of advanced legal service concepts from Shenzhen to Bijie as a major benefit for local enterprises.

Following the speeches, amid warm applause, Director Ming Can, Director Sun Lin and distinguished guests jointly held the ribbon-cutting ceremony. With the falling red ribbons and blooming fireworks, the grand opening reached its climax. Subsequently, Director Ming Can and Director Sun Lin jointly unveiled the firm’s official brand plaque, marking the formal establishment of Jintang’s brand in the Wumeng region.

Standing at a new starting point, Jintang (Bijie) Law Firm will uphold the professional philosophy of “Master the Principles, Act with Agility” and the core values of “Being Down-to-Earth, Self-Driven, and Mutually Empowering”. Focusing on criminal defense, civil and commercial dispute resolution and corporate compliance, the branch will fully integrate into Bijie’s overall development strategy, optimize the local business environment via the rule of law, and repay the local community with proactive responsibility. Committed to excellence, it will build a new-era high-standard law firm featuring professional depth, social temperature and corporate responsibility.
