Long'an Dynamics | The Long'an Guangzhou Dishi team has been included in the new list of internship units at Xiamen University Law School, working together to cultivate high-level professionals in the fields of law, finance, and taxation.

In July 2024, the Doshi Team of Beijing Longan (Guangzhou) Law Firm was selected as an internship unit by the Law School of Xiamen University. Together with the panel of judges for tax-related cases in the Siming District People’s Court of Xiamen, which is the first in the country to implement a “three-in-one” centralized jurisdiction for tax-related cases, and the tax tribunal of the Shanghai Railway Transport Court, which is also the first in the country, they became part of the “China-OECD Joint Master’s Program in Tax Law” at the Law School of Xiamen University as internship and practice units.

The Beijing Longan (Guangzhou) Law Firm, the Longan Bay Area Legal, Taxation and Finance Integration Research Center, and the Law School of Xiamen University cooperate together. This will effectively strengthen the integration of legal education, tax and finance education, and practical work. Together, they will promote the development in the field of legal, tax and finance integration. This will provide more practical opportunities for students at Xiamen University. At the same time, it will promote resource sharing and complementary advantages between law firms and universities.

The “China-OECD Joint Master’s Program in Tax Law” at the Law School of Xiamen University is established by the International Tax Law and Comparative Tax System Research Center of Xiamen University and the Taxation and Finance Law Teaching and Research Section of the Law School of Xiamen University. The Taxation and Finance Law Teaching and Research Section of the Law School of Xiamen University was established in 2007. It is the first doctoral program in taxation and finance law in China. It is also the first teaching and research section in this field among law schools in comprehensive universities. The “China-OECD LLM Program on Taxation” is a master’s program in international tax law that is offered in collaboration between Xiamen University (XMU), the State Tax Administration of the People’s Republic of China (STA), the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China (MOF), and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Its goal is to cultivate advanced tax management professionals who have a broad international perspective and lasting international competitiveness. They should be proficient in international tax law knowledge and skills, able to adapt to the rapidly developing international tax rules, and capable of applying international tax rules effectively. They should also have the skills to solve international tax law and theory problems using theory and knowledge.

This cooperation is another achievement in the deep development of legal, tax and finance integration since the establishment of the Longan Bay Area Legal, Taxation and Finance Integration Research Center. It reflects the high recognition of Longan (Guangzhou)’s professional capabilities and talent concepts by the Law School of Xiamen University. This will further promote deep cooperation between the two in the fields of legal education and practical work.

In the future, the Longan Bay Area Legal, Taxation and Finance Integration Research Center will continue to focus on integrating professional and industry resources in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in a multi-level way. This will effectively improve the level of legal, tax and finance integration and internationalization, and better meet customer and market needs. Longan (Guangzhou) will also take this opportunity to strengthen communication and cooperation with various universities, and cultivate more excellent legal professionals, thereby promoting the high-quality development of the legal system.
