1993 was a special year.
In that year, the comprehensive planning plan of Zhujiang New Town was officially implemented, and the farmland and grassland became the most prosperous city center in Guangzhou with nearly 30 years of time.
In the same year, Guangxin Junda Law Firm was established, initially with only 4 practicing lawyers and 3 administrative staff; 28 years later, Guangxin Junda's scale is now at the forefront of the industry in Guangdong Province, with only 650 lawyers in Guangzhou headquarters, and it was selected as the 7th place in the list of "2021 China Law Firms With Brand Value". In Guangzhou, only two law firms are on the list.
Wang Xiaohua, member of the Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and director of Guangxin Junda Law Firm, said that as an enterprise in the Tianhe CBD, Guangxin Junda will continue to provide customers with more professional legal services, jointly build a law-based business environment, and enhance Guangzhou's urban competitiveness.

The Asian Games will allow local quality law firms to break through
In January 1993, Wang Xiaohua and three other lawyers founded Guangxin Law Firm, one of the earliest partnership law firms established in Guangdong Province. At the same time, other law firms established in the same period include King & Wood Mallesons, JunHe, Deheng, Zhong Lun and other well-known law firms in China. Due to its proximity to Hong Kong and Macau, Guangzhou law firms are able to access more types of business. At the beginning of its establishment, the level of law firms in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou was comparable.
A few years later, the legal profession in Beijing sprang up. The top ten best law firms in the country are concentrated in Beijing, while the law firms in Guangdong are unable to enter the top 20 in the country. This has caused the Guangzhou law firm to lose many big businesses at the "doorstep".
The most important development node was the 2010 Asian Games, which was the historical event that impressed Wang Xiaohua the most. At that time, the Guangzhou Asian Games was known as the largest Asian Games in the history of the Asian Games. Before and after the Asian Games, the professional legal team is inseparable from the professional legal team to provide advice on the improvement of Guangzhou's urban appearance, venue construction, and event preparation. To this end, the Organizing Committee of the 10th Asian Games (ASIAN ORGANIZING Committee) has hired a law firm to serve as a perennial legal adviser in a nationwide public bidding.

In order to successfully bid, a year before the Asian Organizing Committee's first public tender, Guangxin Junda organized lawyers to study at experienced law firms across the country, including consulting with the legal counsel law firm of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Organizing Committee, in order to fully face strong competitors. In the end, combined with local advantages, Guangxin Junda successfully won the big project of legal counsel of the Asian Organizing Committee.
"The Asian Games is the biggest event in Guangzhou within 20 years, which is of great help to the promotion of Guangxin Junda's brand influence." Wang Xiaohua told Nandu reporters that in the various large bids since then, the former legal adviser of the Asian Organizing Committee has become one of the "killer skills" of Guangxin Junda.

The success of Guangxin Junda's bid even boosted the confidence of law firms in the city: a law firm in Guangzhou finally rose strongly and broke through. It can be seen that at present, Guangzhou Tianhe CBD has cultivated high-quality local law firms to provide professional legal services at the doorstep of enterprises in the region, directly driving the further improvement of the competitiveness of Tianhe CBD's modern service industry.
It complements tianhe CBD
In 2017, As the first batch of signed tenants of the East Tower, Guangxin Junda took the lead in entering the tallest building in Guangzhou, renting more than two floors of space in one fell swoop, with a lease period of up to 11 years. The East Tower is a well-deserved "big building": in the 530-meter-high building, there are more than 2,000 lawyers practicing, and the number of law firms and lawyers ranks first in the city.
Wang Xiaohua said that there are hundreds of headquarters and branches of high-end brand enterprises gathered between the square circles of Tianhe CBD, and their huge demand for high-end services such as law and finance is an important source of vitality for the survival and development of law firms. According to statistics, in 2021, Tianhe will have a total of 3374 national high-tech enterprises, the first in the city.
Wang Xiaohua used "complementarity" to describe the relationship between Guangxin Junda and Tianhe CBD. He said that the continuous optimization of the rule of law and business environment in Tianhe CBD has driven the development of high-end service industries in the region, including the legal profession. Guangxin Junda is committed to providing high-quality legal services for enterprises in tianhe CBD, attracting more enterprises to settle in Tianhe CBD, and enhancing the competitiveness of Guangzhou.
In the face of the major opportunities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Wang Xiaohua said that he hopes to use his professional experience with an international perspective to provide professional services for the strategy of the Greater Bay Area. At present, Guangxin Junda has set up offices in six countries including the United States and Japan and 16 cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, "We will continue to move forward and shoulder the responsibility of providing high-quality legal services for the society and enterprises." ”
