Forty years of dedicated effort have forged the foundation of our expertise; for four decades, we have remained true to our original aspirations, safeguarding the dreams of global expansion. On November 6, 2025, the “Forty Years of Clarity, Embarking on a New Journey—Uniting Strengths to Build a Century: Forum on Legal Support for Chinese Enterprises Going Global,” hosted by JC Master Law Office, was grandly inaugurated at the Jinling Hotel in Nanjing, marking a momentous milestone.

The forum was packed with distinguished guests, bringing together more than 150 leading experts from government agencies, industry associations, academia, the business community, and the legal profession. Numerous mainstream media outlets provided on‑site coverage as participants convened to discuss strategies for Chinese enterprises expanding overseas and to map out a new vision for global development, creating an atmosphere that was both solemn and vibrant.
 

That afternoon, the Kunlun Hall shimmered with starlight as distinguished guests arrived one after another, pausing to pose for photos before a specially designated autograph wall. The forum officially kicked off, co-hosted by Jiang Jun, a presenter at Jiangsu Provincial Radio and Television Station, and Ling Jianhao, a managing partner at JC Master. During the opening session, a meticulously produced documentary video guided the audience through a retrospective of JC Master’s four-decade journey of development.

Subsequently, Li Kun, former Deputy Director of the Jiangsu Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and First‑level Inspector, as well as President of the Jiangsu Enterprise Confederation; Che Jie, President of the Jiangsu Lawyers Association; and Wang Qing, Deputy Director of the Nanjing Municipal Bureau of Justice and Secretary of the Party Committee of the Nanjing Legal Profession, each delivered remarks. They highly commended JC Master Law Office’s deep professional expertise and its contributions to society, elaborated on the pivotal role of legal services in supporting enterprises’ international expansion from multiple perspectives, and expressed high hopes for JC Master’s future development.
