Wan Li, Director of Yunnan Zhongji Law Firm; Wang Jinfan, Secretary of the Party Branch; Lei Zhixin, Lei Zhixin, Zhang Qian, and Wang Lin, Managing Partners; and Duan Wei, Director of Kunming Mingxin Notary Office; as well as Li Pengming, Ding Xiaoye, and Zhang Zhiping, members of the Executive Committee, attended the signing ceremony as representatives.
Yunnan Zhongji Law Firm, as the first law firm in Yunnan Province’s legal services industry to establish a legal service presence in North America, boasts extensive experience in cross-border legal services. Kunming Mingxin Notary Office, a well-known notary service institution within Yunnan Province, has unique expertise in foreign-related notarization services. The establishment of a strategic partnership between the two entities will foster a collaborative engagement model, promoting enhanced cooperation in Party organization building, establishing cooperative engagement mechanisms, facilitating business exchange and collaboration, pursuing brand strategic partnerships, and fostering cultural exchanges—thereby achieving positive interaction and exploring a new model of legal services featuring “lawyers + notaries.”
The partnership between Yunnan Zhongji Law Firm and the Mingxin Notary Office of Kunming City is an important step in implementing the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s speech on “strengthening rule-of-law work involving foreign affairs and raising the rule-of-law level of foreign-related work.” It also represents a pioneering initiative in taking legal services beyond China’s borders. Guided by the principle that “wherever Chinese enterprises and Chinese citizens go, legal services will follow,” the two parties will extend their legal services overseas to provide support and protection for the Belt and Road Initiative.
