Recently, Xiao Shuwei, Party Committee Secretary and Senior Partner at King&Capital law Firm, granted an exclusive interview to a reporter from the *Rule of Law Daily*’s multimedia team. Focusing on core initiatives such as the firm’s development guided by Party building, the integration of Party building with legal practice, and the provision of rule-of-law services for the people’s well-being, he shared King&Capital law Firm’s practices and achievements in fostering a strong sense of purpose through Party building, empowering the firm with professional expertise, and benefiting the people through service—all to promote the firm’s high-quality development and fulfill its mission of serving the people through the rule of law.
For a long time, the Party Committee of King&Capital law Firm has closely adhered to the requirements for Party building in the legal profession, thoroughly implemented the general requirements for Party building in the new era and the Party’s organizational line in the new era, and anchored itself in the core orientation of “Party building as a guide, consolidating fundamentals and strengthening foundations, empowering development, and serving the people.” It has promoted the deep integration and coordinated advancement of Party building and firm development, exploring and forming a new path—unique to King&Capital—where Party building empowers high-quality development.
In July 2022, the Party Committee of King&Capital Law Firm was formally established, marking the beginning of a new journey toward standardized and regulated Party building.
In an interview, Attorney Xiao Shuwei stated that for the firm’s Party building work to yield tangible results, it is necessary to improve systems, strengthen safeguards, and rally collective efforts to transform the strengths of Party building into momentum for serving the people.
Consequently, King&Capital law Firm has consistently prioritized political development, fully staffed its dedicated Party affairs team, and achieved comprehensive coverage in the development of Party work platforms, theoretical study, revolutionary education, and public welfare initiatives. Founder Attorney Tian Wenchang, as a veteran Party member, leads by example, guiding all attorneys at the firm to fulfill their duties as Party members.
At the same time, the firm has innovated its Party-building approaches by organizing Party members to visit revolutionary education bases for immersive learning, holding symposiums for new and veteran Party members, and hosting activities such as revolutionary poetry recitations and Party-building study tours—all of which have infused organizational life with greater vitality. Young lawyer-Party members have unanimously expressed that revolutionary education has strengthened their resolve to serve the people, and they are committed to integrating their original aspirations into every aspect of their legal practice.
Currently, the firm’s Party Committee oversees eight Party branches with 172 Party members. The firm has been honored with numerous awards, including “Advanced Party Organization in the Beijing Legal Profession” and “Five-Star Party Branch,” while several Party members and Party affairs workers have received municipal and district-level commendations.
Integrating Party Building with Professional Practice: Mutual Empowerment for Development
Under the guidance of the King&Capital Party Committee, King&Capital Law Firm adheres to the principle of using Party building to lead business development, ensuring that Party building and professional practice are planned and advanced in tandem.
Xiao Shuwei has repeatedly emphasized that lawyer-Party members must courageously shoulder heavy responsibilities in tackling professional challenges and handling cases, demonstrating their vanguard and exemplary roles through outstanding competence.
Today, more than half of the firm’s core personnel are Party member attorneys. Veteran Party members provide mentorship and guidance while strictly ensuring case quality, while young Party members drive innovation and energize the firm’s growth. The firm has established a “Party Building + Professionalism” model, forming specialized teams centered on Party members to deepen expertise in areas such as criminal defense, civil and commercial litigation, and financial legal services. Through legal theory seminars and case reviews, the firm refines its professional services and has established cross-departmental collaboration mechanisms to enhance its core competitiveness.
In addition, Attorney Xiao Shuwei has spearheaded educational initiatives on professional ethics and integrity, using real-life cases to explain the law based on his professional experience and guiding attorneys to strictly adhere to the ethical boundaries of their practice. Party member attorneys have stated that these educational sessions have realigned their professional direction and that they will fulfill their responsibilities with a rigorous and conscientious approach.
Deepening Public Interest Services, Enhancing People’s Well-being
Serving the people remains King&Capital Law Firm’s unwavering commitment. Launched in 2012, the “Quán Plan”—a charitable educational assistance initiative—has provided continuous support to disadvantaged minors for 14 years, cumulatively offering scholarships, school supplies, and practical learning platforms to safeguard students’ educational journeys.
In January of this year, King&Capital Law Firm partnered with the Fangshan District Court to launch a new round of educational assistance activities. Attorney Xiao Shuwei led the delegation and encouraged the students to study diligently, strive for excellence, and spread kindness. Participating Party member attorneys unanimously stated that public welfare assistance fosters mutual growth and has further strengthened their conviction that legal services should serve the people.
The firm also uses Party-building to guide public welfare efforts, organizing Party member attorneys to participate in community partnership initiatives and provide services such as legal education lectures, legal consultations, and dispute mediation. Party member attorney He Fang has participated in legal aid volunteer activities for four consecutive years, serving the public at the grassroots level and demonstrating the sense of responsibility expected of a Party member.
Attorney Xiao Shuwei stated that Party member attorneys must keep the “greater good of the nation” in mind, use their professional services to safeguard people’s livelihoods and empower governance, and strive to be exemplary attorneys who satisfy both the Party and the people.
In the future, the Party Committee of King&Capital law Firm will continue to forge a strong spirit through Party building, empower through professionalism, and benefit the people through service. By deepening its core business and fulfilling its responsibilities, the firm will write a new chapter in the rule of law for the people through high-quality legal services.
