In order to create a platform for young lawyers to display, on May 10, 2023, King&Capital held the first "Young Lawyers Sharing Meeting" of this year. With the theme of "The Pits We Avoided in Those Years", Mr. Cai Kangmiao from the Department of Civil and Commercial Litigation and Mr. Su Wen and Mr. Wang Ruiqi from the Department of Competition Legal Affairs shared their views on the topic respectively. Senior partners Mr. Huang Yajun, Mr. Sun Yanhui, Mr. Zhao Qilong and Mr. Chen Zhihui were invited to comment on the topic. More than 60 lawyers from the head office and branch offices participated in the sharing activity through on-site participation and online broadcasting.

At the sharing meeting, Ms. Cai Kangmiao firstly shared her experience on the topic of "avoiding pitfalls in divorce agreement". Combined with the real cases she represented, she analyzed the principles of drafting divorce agreements, the reasonableness of the special clauses in divorce agreements regarding child support and property division, and talked about the possible risks in the process of drafting divorce agreements.

Ms. Su Wen then shared her views on the topic of "How to Avoid the Pit of Patent Risks". She briefly introduced the basic business scope of patent attorneys, the special rules of patent jurisdiction, etc. Combined with her experience in patent examination and reexamination, and the successful cases she has represented, she talked about the three potholes that are easy to be stepped on in the patent legal service in easy-to-understand language, and explained the issues of "whether to publish the paper or apply for patent first" and "the comprehensive coverage of patent infringement". He also gave a guide to avoid the pitfalls of "whether to publish a paper or apply for a patent first", "the principle of comprehensive coverage of patent infringement" and "the dispute over patent rights between a new organization and the original organization".

Finally, Ms. Wang Ruiqi shared her views on the topic of "How to Avoid Trademark Risk Pit". She introduced the process of trademark registration, the types of trademark cases undertaken by the attorney, and combined with classic cases to explain how to avoid the pit of the more interrelated problems in the trademark registration process, and finally reminded that successful trademark registration does not mean that it can be done once and for all.

Guests of Honor

Mr. Chen Zhihui shared ten new "dry goods" in his recent practice, ranging from the matters to be noted when mailing materials to clients to the retrieval and verification of conflict of interest when accepting entrustment. He reminded us that there may be various "pits" in the process of practicing law, and young lawyers should strengthen their learning and improve their skills to avoid falling into the "pits".

Mr. Chen Zhihui

Mr. Sun Yanhui commented on the three sharers one by one, and combined with Mr. Chen Zhihui's speech, he shared some of his own practice to avoid the "pit". Mr. Sun said that this is the second time he participated in the sharing meeting of young lawyers, and he felt their growth in the process of communication with young lawyers, which reflected the excellent professional ability and good spirit of young lawyers in King&Capital.

Mr. Sun Yanhui

Lawyer Huang Yajun said that the three sharers were clear and logical, and the guide to avoid pitfalls they shared was very practical. Afterwards, she talked about brand image management of young lawyers from value creation and shared the "pits" she avoided. She emphasized that lawyers should balance legal thinking and business thinking, not simply and mechanically copy the law, and not act as "deal killers". In addition, lawyers should communicate well with their clients and make sure that the clients understand what the lawyers mean correctly and do not cause misunderstanding.

Mr. Huang Yajun

Mr. Zhao Qilong believes that the sharing session is an opportunity to cultivate self-confidence and show oneself, and young lawyers should communicate and share with each other to improve their ability to think and express themselves. Participating in the sharing meeting is also a good way to form new ideas when encountering difficult problems, just like the ancient Greek philosophers, mutual exchanges and debates can often get unexpected gains. Finally, Mr. Zhao Qilong gave suggestions to the three young lawyers on how to improve their speech in terms of making PPT scripts, the speaker's speed and tone of voice, and the design of the opening speech.

Mr. Zhao Qilong

After the sharing session, the participating lawyers said that this activity was very practical and they enjoyed the process of collision of ideas and full communication. King&Capital attaches great importance to the training of young lawyers, and in the future will continue to enrich the training content, innovate the training form, increase the cohesion between young lawyers, provide a platform for young lawyers to show, exchange, and cooperate, and better assist the growth of young lawyers in the firm.
