Resolve clients' difficulties, fulfill the responsibilities of a lawyer, do what is within reach, do what is feasible, and adhere to the line of duty

Having been in the industry for 13 years, she insists on providing comprehensive legal services to clients with a passionate and professional attitude. It is this persistence and belief that has enabled her to go further and further on the path of legal services, becoming a trusted legal guardian in the hearts of clients. In this issue, let's get closer to Lawyer Li Meng, a partner at Gaopeng Law Firm.



A spark, although insignificant, contains the potential to ignite a prairie fire

The road paved by a sincere heart, although winding and twisting, can illuminate the direction of our progress

A qualified lawyer should always have the "four hearts" in mind, with the original intention in every inch and the craftsmanship in every inch

Professional Heart

The essence of a lawyer lies in providing legal services based on professional knowledge, and continuously maintaining a service-oriented mindset to ensure that professional opinions can maximize their effectiveness and value. "- Lawyer Li Meng

My understanding of the profession of lawyer is that it is not only a service industry based on professional knowledge, but also carries deeper significance. Solid professional knowledge is the foundation for lawyers to establish themselves, and it is also the greatest respect, commitment, and protection for clients and parties involved. However, mastering professional knowledge is not the only requirement. Professionalism does not necessarily mean good service. Establishing the correct service attitude and constantly upholding service awareness are also important manifestations of professional spirit. Only by maximizing the value of professional opinions can we provide the highest quality legal services for clients and parties involved.

The reason why the legal industry is full of charm and challenges is that lawyers need to directly interact with clients and complete the final stage of legal services. This step is crucial as it directly relates to the overall evaluation of the legal system by society. As the ultimate provider of legal services, we face our clients directly, allowing us to truly listen to their feedback and voices. These feedbacks and voices play a crucial role in the construction of the rule of law, reflecting the actual needs of members of society, whether natural persons or legal entities, for legal services.

This process of interaction and feedback constitutes a positive cycle, which not only promotes the progress and change of the law, but also drives the continuous progress and sustainable development of social rule of law construction. Although the implementation of the legal system may have some lag, it will always adapt to changes in social and economic development, ensuring that the legal system can keep pace with the times.

The professionalism and excellence of lawyers are not only reflected in their proficiency in legal provisions, but also in their deep understanding and appropriate application of legal spirit. Lawyers should listen to clients' feedback and transform these valuable opinions into driving forces for the development of the legal field. Only in this way can lawyers play a crucial role in the construction of the rule of law and make their due contributions to social fairness and justice.

Diligent heart

Honesty in life, down-to-earth in work, only through diligence and perseverance can one walk steadily on the career path. "- Lawyer Li Meng

In the "Letters from Zeng Guofan", it is said: "Only the most true in the world can surpass the most false in the world, and only the most humble in the world can surpass the most skillful in the world. Knowing that one's talent is not high, one tends to be humble and diligent in learning; Knowing one's own shortcomings in cultivation, one should maintain a constant state of foolishness and focus on self-cultivation.

In his youth, Zeng Guofan was not naturally intelligent, but he ultimately became a master of Neo Confucianism thanks to one word: diligence. Throughout history, there have been countless examples of achieving oneself through diligence and perseverance. Being humble and diligent may seem slow, but in reality, it is the quickest path. Because it is solid and does not leave any shortcomings.

Guarding clumsiness does not require innate talent, but requires perseverance. Among the many factors leading to success, the only one we can independently choose and control is whether we are willing to invest the corresponding time and energy into it. No matter how difficult or easy things are in the world, the word 'serious' is the most feared. By setting goals, patiently practicing repeatedly, and conscientiously completing them, one can achieve what is in their heart. Those who can reach the top of the pyramid are either soaring eagles or crawling snails. Perhaps snails require hundreds of times more time and effort compared to eagles, but when they reach the top, the scenery they see is no different. No matter what talent you have, as long as you continue to work tirelessly day after day, you can gradually approach the desired goal.

The legal profession has a high degree of fairness because it follows a simple and clear principle: no effort, no gain. With the continuous accumulation and precipitation of career, personal experience can gradually be transformed into valuable wealth that belongs entirely to oneself, and this transformation process is extremely charming in my opinion. Here, every hard work and effort will be rewarded, and every effort will not be in vain. This fair mechanism attracts countless aspiring individuals to join the legal profession and pursue their career dreams.

Sincere Heart

The shoulders of clients support lawyers, and they also become lawyers. When dealing with clients, it is not only important to be honest and straightforward, but also to ensure that they always have the right to make their own choices. "- Lawyer Li Meng

Every client's case is a real existence, and the reason why we are able to gradually move forward in the legal industry is that every step embodies the trust and support of our clients. This is a process of mutual achievement. Through interaction with customers, we constantly ask questions, solve problems, and think about problems. Every progress and growth we make in this cycle should be remembered and cannot be forgotten.

It is self-evident that every lawyer has their own boundaries of competence and unique expertise. I often ask myself and reflect on why clients favor me and why they choose me as their protector. In addition to examining issues from the client's perspective, exploring solutions from multiple angles, and assisting clients in handling their legal affairs... These are the basic responsibilities of a lawyer. I believe that true "customer-centric" is to fully respect their wishes and decision-making power, and always ensure that they have the right to make their own choices. This is my unwavering commitment and persistence over the years.

The customer's choice is a manifestation of their free will, as well as their trust and recognition of my service. In the process of communicating with clients, I always maintain an open and transparent attitude, fully listening to their opinions and suggestions. Customers come based on trust, and we should be more customer-centric.

The law should not be cold words and articles, but rather a warm force that warms people's hearts. In the ocean of law, we are both navigators and guardians, with the goal of illuminating every person in need with the light of the law. As escorts, what we need to do is to provide customers with diverse options and flexible solutions to ensure that they can smoothly implement and execute according to their actual situation and needs, and receive the best and most powerful support and guarantee.

awe

Always carry a reverence for the law and the discipline of lawyer practice, this is the bottom line and belief that every legal person must adhere to. "- Lawyer Li Meng

The complexity of human society and the diversity of human nature determine the indispensability of social systems for effective management and coordination. These systems cover multiple dimensions such as law, morality, and culture. Among them, law plays a crucial role as the maintainer and manager of social systems and order, granting people the right to freedom within specific boundaries while requiring them to constrain their behavior within the framework of order.

Legal professionals are not only executors and guardians of the law, but also defenders and promoters of social justice. We must always remember that the dignity and authority of the law are the cornerstone of our career and the standard of our service philosophy, which cannot be surpassed in the face of any temptation or pressure. This does not depend on the width or value of the bottom line, but on a deeper principle: whether a certain behavior should be carried out, whether it conforms to the legal spirit and moral bottom line. Always ask ourselves whether our actions can withstand the dual scrutiny of law and morality.

We bear the heavy responsibility of upholding the dignity and authority of the law, and must lead by example, always maintain a reverence for the law, and adhere to the bottom line of the law. This is not only a fundamental principle that we must follow in our career, but also the core of our personal values. Only in this way can we truly realize the value of the law and uphold its dignity and authority. Only in this way can we establish a more sustainable foundation and develop more steadily in the legal industry.

The future lies in not setting limits or defining oneself

The charm of life largely stems from the unpredictability of the future. But in the uncertainty of the future, a part is actually controlled by our current choices. Diligent learning and continuous practice, even if there are mistakes in the process, are the necessary path to growth. Just as learning to walk inevitably leads to falls, life is no exception. We all grow through the process of constantly making mistakes. If you choose to give up due to fear of falling, you will stagnate.

Whether to continue moving forward is a personal choice, but from the day you choose to become a lawyer, it means you have entered a challenging and unknown industry. The reason why this profession is fascinating is precisely because of its ability to face the unknown.

Here, you will constantly face conflicts, tests, and unknowns, and must also accept the uncertainty of the outcome. However, in the process, try your best to do your part, and every effort may increase your chances of winning. The decision-making power of victory or defeat is not entirely in our hands, but based on reality and diligently completing what we should do now, we have the possibility to strive for victory in the future.

However, we also need to be clear that victory never comes without reason, and those seemingly accidental successes are built on sufficient preparation. Behind every seemingly easy breakthrough lies countless attempts and failures; Every seemingly lucky opportunity is quietly nurtured through countless efforts and accumulations. Only through unremitting efforts and persistent struggle can we seize opportunities at critical moments, making success no longer an unattainable dream, but a tangible result.

A place of peace of mind is home

In the process of choosing a practice platform, lawyers not only consider external factors such as the completeness of hardware facilities, the richness of client resources, and the diversity of case types, but also delve into their cultural heritage, development philosophy, and attitude towards the legal profession to ensure that they can develop and grow in the most suitable environment for themselves and fully utilize their professional skills.

An excellent practice platform is not only a place to provide office space and client resources, but also a place to provide spiritual support and a professional growth environment. A platform with profound cultural heritage can provide lawyers with rich knowledge resources and learning opportunities, helping us to continuously improve and enhance our careers. A positive and proactive development philosophy can motivate lawyers to maintain their passion and pursuit of the legal profession, thereby achieving better results in their work, realizing personal value, and also better serving society and the public.

In addition, the attitude of the platform towards the legal profession is also crucial. An environment that respects the law and values professional ethics can provide a healthy working atmosphere for lawyers, enabling us to adhere to the bottom line of the law and uphold justice and fairness in our practice.

Although the four words' a person is diligent in their work 'are simple, each word contains profound connotations and philosophy, which are thought-provoking. The so-called 'human integrity' means that one should be upright, honest, and trustworthy, possessing noble moral qualities and personal charm. And 'Ye Jing' emphasizes the pursuit of excellence in professional fields, continuous improvement, and the enhancement of personal skills and levels. This spirit is the core values that Gao Peng has been practicing for many years, and it is also the goal that I constantly pursue.

The best relationship between lawyers and law firms is mutual promotion, mutual achievement, and common growth. "- Lawyer Li Meng

The steadfastness and sense of security that Gaopeng gave me can only be given by 'home'. Here, a peaceful environment allows me to fully devote myself to work, and I only need to focus on my own profession and growth. Therefore, I have chosen to embark on a new chapter in my career here, becoming a partner. This is not only a new starting point, but also a stage full of challenges and opportunities.

At Gaopeng, not only is there a good cultural environment and atmosphere, but one can also deeply appreciate the power of teamwork. Through close and seamless cooperation, the 'Gao Peng people' who have achieved significant achievements in their respective fields have maximized their respective strengths and formed a strong synergistic effect. This collaboration is not only aimed at completing tasks, but also at promoting the common growth and progress of individuals and teams.

Here, everyone is an irreplaceable member of the team, striving to achieve common goals and dreams, supporting and encouraging each other. I feel extremely honored to have this opportunity to join such an outstanding team and grow together with many outstanding 'high friends'. At the same time, we also look forward to more like-minded partners joining us, focusing on our profession, being proficient in law, popularizing the law, and practicing the law together.
