II. Review of Classic Cases

(1) Criminal Defense Cases

The case of Jian Moumou regarding tax issues: This is a typical criminal risk case caused by business model innovation. Jian Moumou’s company B cooperates with Hunan Company A in e-commerce operations. Due to platform rules, all revenue must flow back to Company A’s account, causing great financial pressure on B. To maintain the company’s survival, Jian Moumou, advised by a third-party financial advisor, introduced the C employment platform for settlement and invoicing. This model was later identified as potentially involving the crime of illegally purchasing special VAT invoices, and Jian Moumou was placed under criminal investigation. After our team intervened, a meticulous “dual-line defense” strategy was developed. On one hand, for Jian Moumou personally, we emphasized that his actions were to solve real operational difficulties, with the intention of normal company operation rather than tax evasion, and the transaction background was genuine. We also actively organized evidence to prove that he had sought “professional advice,” effectively reducing his subjective malice. On the other hand, we provided specialized criminal risk isolation services to Company B, reviewing all business contracts and financial transactions, and issuing compliance reports to prove the legitimacy of the company’s operations. Eventually, the procuratorial organ accepted our opinion, and a decision not to prosecute Jian Moumou was made. Company B was also not held accountable, achieving the unity of legal and social effects.

(2) Criminal Complaints

The case of Liu Moumou’s complaint against fraud: This is a dispute arising from handling specific affairs. The complainant believes that the other party, after receiving fees, failed to fulfill the agreement and refused to refund, which is suspected of fraud. After accepting the commission, our team guided the complainant in systematically collecting and preserving relevant electronic evidence, written materials, and financial transactions. We also prepared a criminal complaint document based on criminal law provisions, clearly explaining the legal reasons for the alleged crime. The team then submitted all evidence and legal opinions to the public security organs. After review, the public security organs accepted the case and began investigation.

(3) Criminal Representation

The case of He Moumou’s fraud: This was a long and difficult journey to protect rights. In November 2022, we accepted the commission of several victims to report He Moumou’s crime of defrauding hundreds of thousands of yuan in pension funds under the pretext of high-interest loans. Due to the long time period and complex evidence, the investigation progressed slowly at the beginning. In July 2023, we successfully forced the public security organs to officially start investigation. However, after the investigation began, it stagnated, and the suspect was not taken into custody. In response, we submitted detailed “accelerated investigation suggestions” to the investigation authorities, explaining that the case was ready for investigation, the suspect had significant risks of evasion and destroying evidence, and the victims’ situation was urgent and required judicial relief. Eventually, He Moumou was arrested in January 2025. During the trial, facing the defendant’s refusal to plead guilty, we systematically exposed the nature of his crime of fabricating repayment ability and spending the fraud money on gambling, and detailed his abnormal financial flows, pointing out possible asset transfer clues. We strongly requested the court to pay attention and continue to pursue the case. Eventually, the main offender He Moumou was sentenced to twelve years in prison and a fine.

(4) Civil Disputes

The case of Chen Moumou’s guarantee contract dispute: The challenge was to oppose a civil judgment that had been in effect for over sixteen years. In the 1990s, Chen Moumou provided a guarantee for a loan. Later, due to creditor demands, he was缺席 sentenced in 2006 to bear guarantee responsibilities, but he was unaware of this for a long time. In 2022, he learned of this only after his assets were frozen. After our team took over, we identified two major issues: serious violations in the “detention delivery” procedure and an error in the “guarantee period.” We applied for a retrial with the original court, but it was rejected. Then, we turned to the civil procuratorial supervision procedure and submitted a detailed legal opinion to the procuratorial organ, combining procedural violations with substantive errors, arguing that the original judgment was indeed wrong and damaged judicial fairness. After a year of continuous communication and further argumentation, the procuratorial organ accepted our view and issued a procuratorial suggestion for retrial. After the court ordered a retrial, we continued our efforts and finally obtained a full revision of the judgment.

III. Theory Combined with Practice: Scientific Research and Professional Deepening

(1) Paper: “Legal Strategy Research on the Transition from ‘Three Old Transformation’ to ‘Urban Renewal’ and the Transformation of Rural Village Reform Models – Taking Guangzhou as an Example”

This paper systematically outlines the policy evolution of rural village reform in Guangzhou from “Three Old Transformation” to “Urban Renewal.” It deeply analyzes the legal challenges and difficulties in different reform models such as government-led and market participation, and proposes comprehensive governance strategies to strengthen legal guarantees, balance diverse interests, and protect the core rights of villagers. This research result comes from the team’s deep service practice in related fields, reflecting the transition from practice to theory. This paper won the “Third Prize for Theoretical Achievements” from the Guangzhou Lawyers Association in 2024.

(2) Paper: “Research on Difficult Legal Issues in Rural Village Reform – Taking Guangzhou as an Example”

This paper focuses on the specific operational challenges encountered after rural village reform enters deeper waters, such as the determination of historical house inheritance rights, the verification of the authenticity of agency contracts, and the disposal of houses under mortgage and seizure. Using a typological analysis method, it deeply analyzes the causes of the problems and proposes innovative solutions such as improving special determination rules, establishing a hierarchical and classified handling mechanism, and exploring equity management. This has direct reference value for solving the “blockages” in reform. This paper won the “Excellence Award” from the Guangdong Province Law Society Rural Revitalization Legal Research Association’s annual meeting in 2025.

IV. Government-Specific Services – From Start to Deepening: Continuous Delivery of Professional Value

Based on the successful start of urban renewal legal services in 2024, the team of lawyers from Chen Gonghui continued to focus on the landmark project of rural village reform in Puxing Street, Baiyun District, Guangzhou in 2025. The team not only successfully completed the acceptance of the legal counsel services from the previous year and received high recognition from clients, but also renewed the services for the year 2025 with solid professional services, providing continuous and stable legal protection for the long-term legal and stable progress of the project. During the services in the past year, the team provided several key legal opinions on complex issues in project progress, effectively helping the project implement. At the same time, through the deep practice of this project, the team systematically sorted out and summarized the whole-process service experience, initially promoting the formation of replicable legal service models and professional teams in the field of urban renewal.

The Rongchongwei area reform project, as the “first project” of the team and law firm in the field of urban renewal, has developed from a milestone project into a “model project” for honing professional capabilities. Through two years of deep participation, the team has not only consolidated its practical capabilities in complex legal matters such as land acquisition, demolition compensation, administrative compliance, and criminal risk prevention, but also significantly enhanced the market reputation and brand influence of the law firm in this professional field, laying a solid performance and professional confidence for subsequent undertaking of similar large and complex projects.

VI. Honors Witnessing Growth, Working Together towards a New Journey – Team Excellence and Outlook

In 2025, the team of lawyers from Chen Gonghui received several annual awards from the law firm due to their outstanding achievements in the professional field, complex cases, and excellent teamwork. These honors are a concentrated recognition of every effort and achievement in the past year.

(1) Leading and Pioneering, Setting a Benchmark in Urban Renewal

In the groundbreaking “Puxing Street Rural Village Reform in Baiyun District, Guangzhou” project, the team of lawyers from Chen Gonghui, together with the team of lawyers from Chen Qinglan, and lawyers from Luo Yunyu and Ke Cheng, received the “Annual Internal Best Business Cooperation Award.” Facing the challenge of the first major urban renewal project of the law firm, the team started from scratch and achieved significant breakthroughs in the business field. Through efficient cross-team collaboration and professional complementarity, they successfully dealt with the challenges of a long project cycle, complex entities, and diverse legal matters. They provided full-process legal support covering land acquisition, demolition negotiations, and compliance review, ensuring the legal and stable progress of the project. They also established a solid professional reputation for the law firm in the fields of government legal counsel and urban renewal, forming a replicable service model.

(2) Overcoming Difficulties, Achievements in Major Cases Shine

The two representative complex cases handled by the team both won the “Annual Major Business Achievement Award,” demonstrating their deep expertise in handling difficult legal matters.

In the “Case of Chen Moumou’s Guarantee Contract Dispute and Retrial Protest Victory,” facing a judgment that had been in effect for sixteen years, the team, with a spirit of being responsible for the clients until the end, accurately identified the major flaws in the original judgment regarding the procedural delivery and the guarantee period. After the court’s retrial application was rejected, they decisively changed their strategy and successfully activated the civil procuratorial supervision procedure. Through persistent efforts, they obtained a “Retrial Procuratorial Suggestion” and finally achieved a complete revision of the judgment. This case is a classic example of successfully turning the situation through procuratorial supervision.

In the “Case of Jian Moumou Suspected of Illegally Purchasing Special VAT Invoices and Not Being Prosecuted,” the team demonstrated their high skills in integrating and resolving criminal risks for enterprises and executives. Through thorough evidence fixation and compliance training in the early stage, they successfully built a risk isolation wall for the involved unit (Company B), preventing it from being held criminally. At the same time, they provided precise defense for the person in charge, Jian Moumou, focusing on key points such as “true transactions,” “objective operational difficulties,” and “no subjective intent.” After two rounds of retrial and extended periods, they finally obtained a decision not to prosecute, achieving a dual success in risk resolution for both the unit and the individual.

(3) Starful, Individual and Team Coexist

The team’s excellence is due to the outstanding contributions of each member. Lawyer Chen Gonghui, with his excellent leadership and industry contributions, was again rated as “Outstanding Partner of the Year.” Core member Lawyer Zhu Zhijiang, with his excellent professional skills, dedicated work attitude, and client-oriented service spirit, received the “Outstanding Lawyer of the Year” title. Team member Lawyer Chen Wentao, with his excellent professional level, diligent work attitude, and excellent collaboration ability, received the “Outstanding Employee of the Year” title. Their emergence is a reflection of the team’s talent development mechanism.

Ultimately, the team’s overall professional construction, efficient teamwork, and continuous achievement of major results have been highly recognized, and they received the “Annual Professional Team Construction Award.” This indicates that the team of lawyers from Chen Gonghui has grown into a well-structured, talent-rich team capable of continuously handling tough cases and producing high-quality work.

(4) Heritage Passed On: Team Building and New Forces

We firmly believe that an excellent team stems from continuous talent cultivation and cultural inheritance. In 2025, we were honored to welcome Wang Yiquan and Zhong Shiqi, two outstanding interns from law schools.

During their internship, they started from basic tasks such as case file organization and legal research, and gradually participated in core practical activities such as case discussion and legal document drafting, as well as assisting interviews. They were impressed by the “immersive experience from campus to practice” and felt the “temperature and weight of law.” In the rigorous and collaborative atmosphere of the team, they firmly committed to becoming “warm and responsible legal professionals.” Their growth and feedback are the best evidence of the team’s tradition of “passing on knowledge and helping others,” and they also inject fresh vitality and hope for the future into the team.
