Lawyer Xiao Yi explained that when dealing with major and complex disputes, legal workers in state-owned enterprises should accurately grasp the interactive relationships among the three main parties involved: the client, the adjudicator, and the representative. Litigation strategy should be comprehensively analyzed from perspectives such as the selection and formulation of the client’s litigation objectives, profiling and understanding the adjudicator’s mindset, and key points for effective communication with representatives.
Simultaneously, starting from actual cases, Lawyer Xiao Yi introduced how to use visualization techniques to make complex case facts一目了然, and how to achieve a turnaround in second-instance or retrial procedures through fact梳理, evidence挖掘, and narrative construction. He further深入剖析了 the value and role of specific procedures such as identifying and突破 the basis of claims, selecting jurisdiction, and applying for preservation in dispute resolution.
Addressing the difficulties in second-instance and retrial procedures that concern state-owned enterprise legal staff, Lawyer Xiao Yi vividly explained, using case examples, how to find breakthroughs through precise切入点 and effective communication during a case. He emphasized the importance of post-hearing复盘沟通, encouraging his legal同行 to pursue “getting infinitely close to极致专业” in case management and handling processes. Facing a more dynamic market environment and increasingly complex commercial disputes, state-owned enterprises can gain the initiative in litigation and effectively safeguard state-owned assets by establishing a strategic mindset of “starting with the end in mind,动态关注, and全局统筹,” enhancing their legal teams’ and external counsels’ capabilities in “精细作业力 × 深度沟通力 × 团队协同力”—refined operational processes,持续深入的 internal and external communication, and efficient team collaboration.
This training empowered the legal system construction of provincial-level state-owned enterprises, effectively助力提升 the management and handling capabilities for major and complex cases within these enterprises, and received high praise from the participating units.
