Lawyer Liu Xin

Chief Partner of Longan Guangzhou and Director of the Management Committee

Lawyer Liu Xin, Chief Partner of Longan Guangzhou and Director of the Management Committee, delivered a speech for the event. Director Liu Xin first warmly welcomed all guests to Longan Guangzhou. Director Liu Xin mentioned that the establishment of the Longan Bay Area Law Research Institute aims to integrate the professional resources of various offices in Longan Bay Area, enhance legal expertise internally, and increase brand influence externally. It also aims to explore the regional integration of Longan through professional integration. Before this, the Longan Bay Area Law Research Institute had established three professional research centers, and the Law-Financial-Tax Integration Research Center is the fourth and most diverse research center. In the field of “law-finance-tax”, “law” is the premise, followed by “wealth management” and “taxation”, making the research scope of the Law-Financial-Tax Integration Center more complete, comprehensive, and holistic. The current members of Longan Bay Area include five branches: Longan Guangzhou, Longan Shenzhen, Longan Foshan, Longan Hong Kong, and Longan Xiamen. Through the platform of the Longan Bay Area Law Research Institute, how to enable other branches to better participate in various exchange and cooperation activities of the Center is also a question we should consider. The establishment of the Longan Bay Area Law-Financial-Tax Integration Research Center not only reflects Longan’s emphasis and support for the integration of law-finance-tax but also injects new vitality and momentum into the research and development of this integration. Finally, we wish the establishment of the Longan Bay Area Law-Financial-Tax Integration Research Center a complete success, and we hope that it will become a model in the comprehensive knowledge field of Longan Bay Area in the future.

Lawyer Chen Banliang

Director of the Longan Bay Area Law-Financial-Tax Integration Research Center and Senior Partner at Longan Guangzhou

Lawyer Chen Banliang, Director of the Longan Bay Area Law-Financial-Tax Integration Research Center and Senior Partner at Longan Guangzhou, in his speech, detailed the background and development goals of the establishment of the Longan Bay Area Law-Financial-Tax Integration Research Center. Lawyer Chen Banliang pointed out that China’s 40-plus years of reform and opening up have created huge wealth, and all sectors of society are paying more and more attention to issues such as legal compliance, tax risk management, and wealth management and inheritance. However, the current legal service supply is still single, isolated, and partial, and no multi-dimensional, comprehensive, and holistic solutions have been formed. Overly fragmented professional fields or “combo” services can no longer meet the needs of wealth management and inheritance for comprehensive, efficient, and integrated services. Longan has been committed to providing the best integrated legal services in law-financial-tax, and the establishment of this research center is to integrate the legal resources of Longan Bay Area lawyers and industry resources, improve the service level of Longan lawyers in law-financial-tax, better meet the needs of clients, and thus promote the development of the law-financial-tax field.
