Surging Momentum, Sharp Direction
Young lawyers are the dynamic blood and the core engine driving the future development of the legal industry. With their cutting-edge knowledge, fearless innovative spirit and keen insight, they are the backbone of the legal industry's expansion. The 40 Under 40 list in mainland China recognizes young talent with outstanding potential who are committed to leading the development of the legal industry.
With more than 13-years' experience as a pioneering force among young lawyers, Mr. Cui Jiakun specializes in investment funds, private equity and venture capital, mergers and acquisitions, and the application of insurance funds. He has participated in major innovative projects that have had a profound impact on China's venture capital industry. Mr. Cui has been recommended many times by legal media publications such as Legal 500, IFLR 1000, and China Business Law Journal (CBLJ). His notable projects include assisting Trustbridge Partners in establishing a succession restructuring fund and a cross-border investment project for a global leading consumer chain enterprise, assisting Sinopec Capital in completing Hollysys' privatization project in the US, and assisting in the establishment of the largest industrial investment fund project in China to date. These were selected in 2024 as benchmark cases by legal media publications such as CBLJ and LexisNexis.
Insight into New Chapters, Constant Craftsmanship
Exploration and innovation are becoming the engines that drive the legal industry. The ELITE Awards select individuals or teams with outstanding achievements in the application of legal technology, artificial intelligence practice, and the promotion of social responsibility and public value. As one of the first lawyers to pass the Greater Bay Area legal practice examination, Mr. Phillip Kwok is well-versed in the legal environments of mainland China, Hong Kong, the United States, and other jurisdictions. He focuses on complex commercial dispute resolution, with core practices covering commercial litigation and arbitration, regulatory investigations, cybersecurity and data protection, and fintech compliance.
The honors achieved by Mr. Cui and Mr. Kwok are vivid reflections of the flourishing young talent at JunHe. Their growth is rooted in JunHe's professional soil; their vision benefits from the tempering of the tides of the times. Today's glory is a testament to past efforts and a starting point for future journeys. JunHe will continue to nurture this fertile ground for talent, with the ambition of evergreen pines, to embrace a flourishing spring for the rule of law.
