Liu Jianzhong
Equity partner of Jingsh Law Firm
Director of the Corporate Law Professional Committee of Jingsh Law Firm (National)
Liu Jianzhong, equity partner of Jingsh Law Firm and director of the Company Law Professional Committee of Jingsh Law Firm (National), conducted an in-depth analysis on the "Equity Holding Issues in the Draft Judicial Interpretation of the New Company Law". He pointed out that the draft judicial interpretation of the new company law has made more detailed provisions on the determination of the effectiveness of equity holdings, the conditions for the naming of actual investors, and the liability of nominal shareholders. He reminded that in practice, problems such as the risk of invalidity of agency holding agreements and obstacles to the exercise of the rights of dormant shareholders have become prominent. He suggested that when setting up joint ventures, Chinese and foreign companies should give priority to direct shareholding or a trust structure. If they really need to hold on behalf of the company, they should clearly agree on the capital contribution certificate, voting rights exercise and exit mechanism, and handle equity pledge registration to prevent bona fide third party risks.
Yellow Bear
Equity partner of Jingsh Law Firm

He proposed four measures: first, complete trademark registration and free enforcement analysis through the European Union Intellectual Property Office in advance; second, establish an internal confidentiality system; third, sign non-compete and confidentiality agreements; fourth, use professional institutions to carry out early warning, due diligence and litigation full-chain services. Enterprises are called on to incorporate intellectual property management into their overall strategies and prevent risks from the source. Jingshi Law Firm can provide full-chain services of cross-border intellectual property early warning, due diligence and infringement litigation to protect corporate innovation achievements.
Pan TingtingDirector of the Criminal Professional Committee of Jingsh Law Firm (National)Pan Tingting, director of the Criminal Professional Committee of Jingsh Law Firm (National), emphasized on"Criminal Risks and Prevention and Control of Chinese Enterprises" that criminal risks such as commercial bribery, money laundering, false invoices, and smuggling in overseas investments cannot be ignored.
