On May 22, 2024, the “Zhenghan Law Firm Open Day” was held at the firm’s Shanghai office. More than 40 student representatives from various universities gathered to gain an up-close understanding of Zhenghan Law Firm and its dispute resolution practice through a full day of series activities. Meanwhile, this event marked the kick-off of the 2025 campus recruitment campaign.
In the morning session “Face-to-Face with Industry Leaders”, three partners delivered presentations to the students from three perspectives: firm introduction, case handling, and career planning.
Lawyer Wang Zheng gave a presentation titled *What Makes Zhenghan Law Firm Unique*, guiding students to understand the firm’s distinctive corporate model through its focused practice areas, types of cases handled, unique lock-step system construction, and internal talent echelon development.
Lawyer Ma Mingwei delivered a session on *Core Skills for Complex Commercial Dispute Resolution*, analyzing how to handle complex commercial cases systematically across six dimensions: objective case review, thorough legal research, setting litigation objectives, formulating litigation strategies, drafting legal documents, and courtroom advocacy skills.
Lawyer Qian Qian presented *Daily Work and Career Development of a Dispute Resolution Lawyer*, analyzing career choices based on four real cases. By exploring the four questions of “Who am I”, “What do I want to do”, “What can I do”, and “What lifestyle do I aspire to”, he helped students map out their career development paths, while also revealing the real daily work and life of dispute resolution lawyers.
At noon, the students had lunch with senior alumni working at the firm. Through casual, student-oriented conversations, they bridged the distance, sharing the joys and challenges of being a newcomer in the legal profession.
In the afternoon session “Talks on Being a Lawyer”, Lawyer Liu Fengchang, Lawyer Xiao Yi, Lawyer Chen Shuyuan, and Lawyer Tongyu Li, as representatives of lawyers at different career levels, answered questions from the students. The session aimed to present career experiences at various stages, share insights and real feelings from seasoned practitioners, offer perspectives different from those in student life, and resolve confusion about future job hunting. The Human Resources Department introduced the firm’s talent development system and recruitment process to the students. Finally, all participating students and lawyers took a group photo to mark the occasion.
This event serves as the starting point for the 2025 campus recruitment. We hope to use this opportunity to help students gain a deeper understanding of dispute resolution practice and the legal career path, and to provide inspiration and encouragement as they prepare to enter the workforce. At the same time, we sincerely hope that more students will get to know us and join our team.
The 2025 campus recruitment channel has officially opened, and all students are welcome to submit applications.
