Recently, the anhui foreign legal service centre started operating -
The rule of law
In the first half of this year, the copper mausoleum port experienced a steady economic performance, with significant growth in cargo throughput, foreign trade imports and exports and container throughput. This means that container handling operations are under way at the changjiang port of copper. The daily correspondent of the anhui newspaper
In recent years, in the context of the globalization of the economy, my province has become increasingly open to the outside world, with more and more economic cooperation from the outside, and the pace of “go-out” and “in” of enterprises has accelerated. In this process, there has been an increasing involvement in foreign legal matters and an increasing demand for foreign legal services from businesses and individuals。
The change in “passive response” is an active link to the global “mixed wisdom” from “single-point escort” to “value-sharing”, and i am using the launch of the anhui foreign legal service centre as an opportunity to focus on the development of a foreign legal service system, to raise the overall level of foreign legal service capacity and to inject strong rule of law dynamics into the accelerated construction of a new high-level, modern and modern security emblem。
In response to the legal demands of the "off to sea" company:
During the first half of this year, the country's external trade structure continued to optimize, with exports amounting to rmb 13 trillion, an increase of 7. 2 per cent over the same period, up from a record high. Against this backdrop, business “out” and citizen participation in international affairs are becoming more frequent。
In the face of a complex external environment, “an emblem” manufacturing, with its strong international competitiveness, has taken place in the foreign trade market. In the first half of this year, my province's total import and export value remained at the ninth and the first in the centre of the country, with the country's sixth and first in the long triangle。
“getting out of the way” for the “stamp of the emblem” imposes deeper demands on the construction of a foreign legal services system in my province。
As one of the representatives of our provincial business “go-out”, the anhui forklift group, with its internationalized development approach of “go-out” of high-quality products, “go-up” of global operations, and co-financing with the world's 500 largest companies (the german zeeverus, endurance) to achieve comparative advantage, focusing on the four main business blocks of machine, spare parts, post-market, intelligent logistics, and building a “1+n+x” overseas pattern. Nine centres have now been established overseas, with distribution networks covering more than 100 countries and territories。
“every step of the enterprise `gos out' is like sailing in the deep sea, with opportunities and challenges, and with risks. The extent and stability of an enterprise's access to global markets depends fundamentally on its ability to manage and manage risks. And among them, the rule of law and compliance is the “pressure stone” that guarantees the stability of the ship to the very core.” at the launch ceremony of the anhui foreign legal service centre, zhang hongquan, general counsel of the anhui forklift group and director-general of compliance, stated that in the area of foreign legal services, the company “going out” was eager to receive support and assistance。
“to create a knowledge base of foreign-related laws and regulations, a database of risk-prone cases, risk-prevention programmes and compliance guidelines that enable enterprises to know `may' and `may' not; to build a pool of legal services classified as regional or professional in order to facilitate the ability of enterprises to match professional teams in a timely manner in the event of a foreign-related dispute or case; to help enterprises to develop a legal complex that is both professional and compatible with their business needs, and to reserve a higher level of `go-out' energy ...”
As zhang hongquan said, the demand for these foreign legal services is not only the anhui forklift group, but also the voice of many “off to sea”. They need to light a “lighthouse” of the rule of law to guide the course beyond the territorial sea。
I don't have to do this when i'm up for service

For example, the adequacy of the system for the development of foreign legal services, the adequacy of mechanisms for the development and retention of foreign legal services and the adequacy of the pool of personnel in international legal matters such as anti-dumping, anti-monopoly investigations and litigation, and foreign intellectual property disputes。
“our law firm must first have the courage to `go out' and work hard to develop a `new map' of the overseas legal services market, to learn to provide customized, intelligent and specialized legal services to clients using digitally based techniques such as big data and artificial intelligence, and to constantly increase the brand power and influence of the international legal services market in which the firm operates.
