       Deputy Director Wei Xiangguang We fully recognize and commend the comprehensive development of Tongfang Law Firm, noting that Tongfang is a model for local law firms in Liaoning Province. The provincial and municipal judicial administrative authorities have consistently supported and promoted it as a benchmark and exemplary firm. First, we must thoroughly summarize Tongfang’s experience. Over its 25-year journey of development, Tongfang has accumulated a wealth of best practices and high-quality approaches for law firm development—experiences that are truly invaluable. We must conscientiously and deeply analyze and carry forward these lessons learned, providing useful references for the development of other local firms.

With its first-class management, top-notch team, and outstanding achievements, Tongfang has earned numerous honors at the national, provincial, and municipal levels over the years. It has become a well-known brand in the legal profession across the province and even nationwide. We must cherish its brand value even more, fully leverage its brand effect, seize new opportunities in the new era, and take Tongfang to new heights, achieving yet another set of world-class accomplishments. Third, we must provide strong support for Tongfang’s high-quality development. The judicial administrative authorities at the provincial, municipal, and district levels should, within the scope of their respective functions and responsibilities, do everything possible to offer services and support, helping Tongfang to consolidate its experiences, overcome challenges, and move steadily toward its goal of high-quality development. By further strengthening and enhancing Tongfang as an advanced, exemplary local firm, we can set a shining example for the high-quality development of the entire legal profession.

Tongfang Law Firm will earnestly implement the opinions and requirements put forward by the provincial and municipal research teams, and with a vigorous spirit of striving and a rigorous professional attitude, will actively advance all aspects of the firm’s work, strive to achieve our established development goals, and make greater contributions to the development of the legal profession.
