Interview Record

Q：The profession of lawyer has various classifications and ways of practicing, and each lawyer has their own unique professional field and working methods. However, an important common issue is how to provide more effective services to clients. How do you understand this?

A：To become a lawyer, the first step is to learn how to "understand" clients. This is the core of legal work and a basic skill that every lawyer must master.

Having been a lawyer for over 20 years, my understanding of this has become increasingly profound.

As a lawyer, it is crucial to have a deep understanding of the client's needs and expectations. This understanding is not just superficial knowledge, but truly understanding the customer's inner thoughts. The job of a lawyer is not limited to handling legal documents and defending in court, but also requires a deep understanding of the client's actual situation and thinking from the client's perspective. Only in this way can lawyers provide targeted legal services and the most suitable legal strategies to help clients solve problems and achieve their goals. This requires lawyers to possess keen observation skills, excellent communication abilities, and profound professional knowledge.


What is professionalism? Understanding customers+precise communication=professionalism and dedication

——Hu Jie

Combining professionalism and precision is the greatest success for a lawyer.

Accuracy is highly valued and valued by clients. In most cases, clients only have one requirement for a lawyer, which is to clearly explain the tasks they need to complete and the various legal risks they may face. The clearer you explain, the more at ease they will feel.

Provide customers with a clear understanding of each step, including what to do and how to proceed with the first, second, and third steps; At the same time, clarify what situations may be encountered in the actual operation process, and how to respond and how long it will take to solve similar situations. This practical and specific guidance and answers are more effective and important for customers than "professional explanations".

If a lawyer is vague and seems to be talking endlessly, but in reality, the client cannot understand what you are saying, is unsure of the future direction, and still feels confused and hesitant, this is the failure of a lawyer.

Lawyers should not only be proficient in legal provisions, but also provide clear guidance and assistance to clients in practical operations. An excellent lawyer should fully combine their professional abilities and years of accumulated practice experience, anticipate various problems that may arise during the actual execution of the case in advance, and provide accurate and reliable analysis and risk assessment. At the same time, within a reasonable legal framework, proposing practical and executable solutions, and accurately conveying this information to clients, ensuring that clients have the greatest initiative and choice, is the greatest value of lawyers in legal services.

Q：I noticed that recently one of your clients came to the office in person and gave you a banner as a token of their gratitude. This banner not only represents their recognition and trust in you, but also affirms your professional ability, professional ethics, and service attitude. Do you have any special thoughts or feelings about this that you would like to share with all of us?

A：The legal industry is actually a "very advantageous" industry. From a certain perspective, the growth and achievements of every lawyer stem from the wholehearted trust and commitment of numerous clients.

Customers pay fees and entrust their legal issues and disputes to us, trusting us to provide professional legal services and solutions. In the process of handling various cases, we constantly encounter and solve problems. With the passage of time, we have gained more and more experience and become more professional legal practitioners. It is the trust and support of our clients that provide us with opportunities for continuous learning and growth, enabling us to make continuous progress.

The trust relationship between lawyers and clients is particularly important. Only when clients believe that lawyers can consider their interests, will they give full trust, and this trust is the cornerstone for lawyers to carry out various tasks smoothly.


The trust of clients is built on the professional competence and ethical conduct of lawyers

——Hu Jie

For lawyers, the most difficult thing to gain is the trust of their clients; The most precious thing is also the trust of customers.

Every lawyer must be clear that their expertise is the only way to impress clients. And what we can give and repay to our customers, and the only thing we can do for them, is to do our best to fight for their rightful rights, help them solve the problems they face, and get rid of difficulties. No matter how complex the case may be or how difficult the challenge may be, we should uphold this belief and use our professional knowledge and unremitting efforts to provide our clients with the highest quality legal services. Only in this way can we live up to the trust of our customers.

Q：What do you think is the biggest difference between a labor lawyer and an 'excellent labor lawyer'?

A：It's temperature.

In modern society, labor lawyers play a crucial role. We not only provide legal assistance to workers to help them safeguard their legitimate rights and interests, but also offer compliance guidance to employers to ensure that businesses operate within the legal framework. However, how to find an appropriate balance between the coldness of legal provisions and the warmth of real life has been a question I have been pondering for many years.



The temperature of the law needs to be transmitted through people

——Hu Jie

An excellent labor lawyer should not only be a mechanical user of legal provisions, but also a transmitter of legal warmth.

Labor lawyers should have empathy. When dealing with labor disputes, we should not only pay attention to the literal meaning of legal provisions, but also deeply understand the humanistic care and pursuit of individual happiness behind the law. We should actively seek solutions that are acceptable to both parties and strive to become a "bridge". This not only helps to resolve current disputes, but also lays a good foundation for future labor relations, while maintaining social harmony and stability.

The implementation of labor laws is not only related to legal provisions, but also to human well-being. Law should not be just a set of cold rules and provisions, and its true value requires the warmth and care of every legal worker to be realized.

Q：Do you have any special advice for future practitioners and young lawyers who are currently practicing?

A：Only with integrity can one excel and establish oneself.

A person's inner qualities directly affect their external performance and career development. A person's inner integrity and sense of justice are crucial. Only with the qualities of integrity can their career and professional skills continue to improve.

People have a natural inclination to approach things and people full of positive energy. If you always maintain an upright and just attitude, you will be welcomed and recognized by the majority of people. For legal practitioners, I believe that this attitude of integrity and justice is very important. It is not only a reflection of professional ethics, but also the key to winning customer trust and peer respect.

Young lawyers, please always maintain your original intention and uphold the integrity and justice within yourself. This will be the most valuable asset in your career.


Compared to other fields, becoming a labor lawyer may not result in particularly lucrative income. However, this does not prevent you from gaining a great sense of value and happiness from this job, as it is a career worth investing and dedicating your entire life to

——Hu Jie

Only by adhering to long-term principles and practicing for a long time can one become an outstanding labor lawyer.

The essence of legal services lies in precision and professionalism, but 'precision' varies from person to person and there is no such thing as an 'absolute standard'. But if you want to become an excellent labor lawyer, you must have a "long termism and long-term cultivation" heart.

In this field full of challenges and opportunities, you will find that although you can clearly explain relevant legal provisions, if you fail to put them into practice, problems still exist. So, you need to constantly learn new knowledge, accumulate practical experience, and improve your professional skills. In this process, you will encounter various cases, from simple labor disputes to complex class action lawsuits. Each case is a new test, every problem is an opportunity for growth, and every challenge is an opportunity to improve oneself.

Sometimes, you may encounter some tricky problems and even receive misunderstandings and accusations. But please remember that these are all necessary stages on the path of growth. You only need to deal with problems with a professional attitude, treat customers with sincerity, listen attentively to their needs, solve their problems, and safeguard their rights.

Q：Finally, I am very much looking forward to you sharing with me your outlook on the future and your personal vision.

A：Whether through my professional skills or passionate efforts, I hope to do my best to bring some positive impact to others, help those in need, contribute my humble efforts to the development of society, and inspire more people's kindness and enthusiasm through my own actions, so that positive energy can be continuously transmitted and spread in society.

At the same time, I also hope to find more like-minded partners to work together towards achieving common goals.
