Lawyer's character

On Friday morning, Fang Yi walked into Hua Liancheng's office.

"Lawyer Hua, are you busy?" Fang Yi asked with a smile after entering the door.

"Hey, it's Lawyer Fang. I'm not busy, what do you want me to do?" Hua Liancheng had a smile on his face, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

He used to be a partner, and Fang Yi was just a small lawyer under Wan Kefa, but since he fell in love with the wrong person and stood on the wrong team, everything has changed.

He is now just a general partner of Sidley Law Firm, while Fang Yi has become the designated successor of Wan Kefa and Du Sanniang, and will be the future helm of Sidley Law Firm.

Hua Liancheng didn't know Fang Yi very well, and he was always worried that Fang Yi would target him after taking power, so he kept his attitude low and really kept his tail between his legs.

"Lawyer Hua, you are joking. You are my senior. I don't dare to say the word 'order' anymore. We are colleagues, not superiors and subordinates." Fang Yi expressed sincerity and fear.

He knew that in order to run this law firm successfully, the first thing he had to do was to win over people's hearts and not let everyone be tit-for-tat. As the saying goes, harmony makes money. A law firm that keeps fighting among itself all day long and has partners who don't do business and only think about swindling lawyers all day long won't make it big or go far.

Hua Liancheng is an old man. He will not be moved to tears by Fang Yi's few words. As the saying goes, don't watch the advertisements but see the efficacy. Fang Yi's words were basically heard in one ear and out of the other, and he didn't take them to heart at all.

"Lawyer Hua, my client has an acquisition project and wants to entrust me to do it. But as you know, I am good at criminal cases and not this kind of non-litigation business. So I would like to ask, what is this kind of business in our law firm? Which lawyer is better at business? You can't hide your secrets, you must recommend the best lawyer to me." Fang Yi said with a smile.

Hua Liancheng was startled and thought to himself: What does Fang Yi mean by asking him for consultation on non-litigation matters? Doesn't he know that non-litigation projects are what his team is best at? We have done a lot of M\u0026A projects in recent years. Although there are not many big projects, we still have a lot of experience in this area.

“If we want to say that the lawyers in our firm who do the most acquisition business, they have to be lawyers Li Chaoqun and Sima Jun in our team.

Li Chaoqun is the leader of the M\u0026A team in my team.

By the way, you should know Lawyer Sima Jun. Lawyer Sima is very professional and has begun to play a leading role in my team in the past few years.

If you don’t have a suitable candidate, choose Lawyer Sima. "Hua Liancheng looked proud when he mentioned the lawyers in his team.

When Hua Liancheng mentioned Sima Jun, a woman with a poker face immediately appeared in Fang Yi's mind. Lawyer Sima was meticulous and serious in everything he did. But because of her personality, many lawyers dare not approach her. Fang Yi had worked with Sima Jun when he was at Jinshi Law Firm, so he knew her character better.

"No problem. I listen to you, it's Lawyer Sima. Next Monday you ask Lawyer Sima to come to me, and I will take her to meet the client and learn about the project." Fang Yi said with a smile.

"Okay, how will the legal fees be charged for this project?" Hua Liancheng asked casually without thinking too much. He didn't know if Fang Yi had negotiated legal fees with the other party, so he asked.

"Let Lawyer Sima talk to the client. I don't know how to quote." Fang Yi looked at Hua Liancheng. He really didn't know how to quote.

"Okay. This project will be handed over to Lawyer Sima. Your client, I will let her get a discount, and I will pay you 20% of the contract price for the return channel fee." Hua Liancheng thought for a while.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Fang Yi smiled.

After Fang Yi left, Hua Liancheng thought about his words and murmured to himself: "This guy came over to recommend projects to me, but he didn't smell the smell of copper at all. He did this job so smoothly. Could it be that I was so young? Does the heart of a man judge the heart of a gentleman?"

On Friday afternoon, Fang Yi's office was full of people, and the team held a regular meeting without hesitation.

"Hey, our team has grown again. Sui Xia, would you like to introduce the six new lawyers to you?" Fang Yi looked at Sui Xia.

"Already introduced." Sui Xia replied.

"Well, today is Friday, Yun Qiao and Zhou Ying, look at which restaurant is good around you. We welcome new colleagues and get together after get off work." Fang Yi was happy.

"Okay, we are the best at this." Yun Qiao said with a smile.

"Okay, let's start the regular meeting. Who will share the case today?" Fang Yi looked at everyone.

"Here I go, Lawyer Xie assigned me a case of intentional injury a few days ago..." Zhou Ying began to introduce the case, and Sui Xia stood in front of the whiteboard and began to record the key information of the case.

This was the first time for Lee Myung-bak and others to participate in the Friday regular meeting. Although Sui Xia had introduced the steps and regulations of the Friday regular meeting before, Lee Myung-bak and others saw that everyone had a bag of snacks in their hands, and they didn’t know whether it was a formal tea party or a real discussion. .

After Zhou Ying introduced the case, the senior members of the team began to express their opinions one after another.

The six new lawyers were a little confused and obviously uncomfortable. When discussing the case, shouldn't they hand out materials in advance and do their homework in advance? Why don't you come up and start working directly? This is also a test of professional ability.

Fang Yi saw the doubts of Li Mingbo and others. Since it was the first time for the six people to participate in the team's regular Friday meeting, Fang Yi did not ask them to speak. He just asked them to participate and adapt to the team's rhythm before starting the week next time. They were not so lucky in the fifth session.

In the evening, the team had a treat. Yun Qiao and Zhou Ying didn't save Fang Yi and booked a seafood buffet. Everyone came to the restaurant to start the ice-breaking journey.

…

At about noon on Monday, Du Yong and Cheng both walked out of the court gate, followed by Chang Guang and his wife chasing them.

"Lawyer Du, let me treat you to a meal." Chang Guang looked excited.

The Changguang robbery case opened today. After the trial, the presiding judge pronounced the verdict in court.

The collegial panel held that Chang Guang ignored national laws and blatantly took other people's property for the purpose of illegal possession. The amount was particularly huge, and his behavior constituted the crime of robbery.

Chang Guang was able to voluntarily surrender after the incident and truthfully confess the facts of the crime, which constituted surrender and could be given a lighter or reduced punishment in accordance with the law.

Since Chang Guang was able to voluntarily hand over the vehicles involved in the case and compensate the victim's unit for economic losses after being brought to justice, showed good confession and repentance, and obtained the victim's understanding, he may be given a lighter punishment as appropriate according to law.

Considering the above circumstances comprehensively, Chang Guang meets the conditions for probation, and his punishment can be reduced and suspended according to law.

Accordingly, in accordance with Article 267, Paragraph 1, Article 67, Paragraph 1, Article 72, Paragraphs 1 and 3, Article 73, Paragraphs 2 and 3, Article 53, Article 64 of the Criminal Law and the Supreme People's Article 9 of the "Several Opinions of the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Justice on the Application of Ordinary Procedures in the Trial of "Cases Confessing the Defendant" (Trial)", Article 2, Paragraph 1 of the "Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Property Penalty" It stipulates that the defendant Chang Guang was guilty of robbery and was sentenced to three years in prison, suspended for five years, and fined RMB 20,000.
