Guangming Legal Building, a landmark in the legal service sector of Guangming Science City, was officially inaugurated on August 16th.
This event marked the filling of two crucial gaps in the district regarding the presence of "representative offices of foreign law firms and joint venture law firms from Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao."
The opening of this building represents a pivotal step towards achieving the overarching goal of ensuring the growth and construction of the Guangming Science City through the provision of top-tier legal services. The ambitious expansion and establishment of the science city have attracted a multitude of scientific research institutions, technology enterprises, and skilled professionals, necessitating a sophisticated legal service infrastructure to align with its growth.
As of July this year, 24 law firms are operating within the district. In an effort to elevate the caliber of legal services further, authorities in the district are encouraging well-known law firms to participate in the legal service sector in Guangming.
Presently, five reputable legal service institutions have committed to the Guangming Legal Building, encompassing a representative office of a foreign law firm, two joint venture law firms from Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, a branch of a nationally acclaimed law firm, and a notary office service window.
In recent years, Guangming District has been dedicated to promoting the high-quality development of the legal service sector by integrating top-notch legal service resources. Their innovative approach to implementing the "one policy, one space, one platform" strategy has successfully paved the way for enhancing the legal service industry with a unique Guangming characteristic.
One Policy
Initiated the "Several Measures to Support the High-Quality Development of the Legal Service Industry in the Guangming Science City," the first specialized support policy for the legal service industry in the district. It consists of 16 detailed measures aimed at comprehensively supporting law firms and legal service professionals.
One Space
Inauguration of the Guangming Legal Building, which symbolizes the evolution of legal services in the district towards a new phase of sophisticated and integrated development. This center will draw together leading law firms both domestically and abroad, along with notary and arbitration institutions, to offer a comprehensive range of high-end legal services.
One Platform
Establishment of the Guangming Science City Legal Service Alliance, with the objective of leveraging the roles of judicial administration, industrial economy, and other governmental bodies to create a platform for exchanging legal service supply and demand.
The alliance aids in resolving various legal challenges encountered by enterprises at different development stages. Serving as a bridge for linking supply with demand, the alliance has conducted thorough visits and research, comprehensively understanding the legal service requirements of scientific research institutions, industrial parks, and technology enterprises in the science city. Through extensive surveys at nearly 10 scientific research institutions, 8 industrial parks, and 56 enterprises in the first half of the year, the groundwork has been laid for tailored and precise legal services.
