竞天公诚律师事务所尹月律师:
资本市场执业领域前沿引领者
尹月律师2005年加入竞天公诚律师事务所,2013年成为合伙人,主要执业领域包括资本市场、兼并与收购、境外投资等。尹律师凭借丰富的执业经验和多领域的专业知识多次帮助企业成功境外上市,取得行业领先成就。
跳出固有思路,拓宽执业领域边界
在迄今14年的从业经历中,尹律师多次在没有可借鉴经验的情况下成功帮助企业完成颇具革新性的境外上市项目,包括助力上海锦江国际酒店成为中国内地首家登陆香港资本市场的纯中国酒店概念股、帮助地利集团成为全国第一家开发使用及经营地下人民防空工程的上市公司等。在每一项新的交易架构开展时,尹律师敢于大胆假设,在对现有规则具备深刻理解的基础上,摆脱惯有思路的束缚,同时也进行详实的法律论证,仔细解读法律法规并充分理解立法者意图。竞天公诚合伙人评价道:“她是我从业以来培养的最有天赋也是最敬业的律师。法律和商业的双重背景让她总能在商业结构设计上更有创造力和洞察力。”
优秀的女律师优势与挑战并存
作为一名在执业领域硕果累累的女律师,尹律师认为女性具备更强的语言表达能力。在性格上,女律师更注重细节、善于观察。同时她们也更倾向于友好合作而非竞争,但这一优势到了合伙人阶段面对更多对抗性竞争可能会转变为挑战。因此尹律师对初入行的女律师的建议是:首先要了解行业,仔细观察每个人的角色,明确自身定位并建立大局观;其次,通过客户、合伙人和指导律师等多方反馈对自身形成客观认识,这有助于进行职业发展中的决策。
打造多面手型的律师团队
尹律师不仅自身拥有美国宾夕法尼亚大学法学硕士和北京大学经济学院金融硕士双重学位,还很注重团队保持学习和研究的氛围,鼓励团队成员汲取多领域知识。对此尹律师表示:商业实质决定法律形式,宏观政策、微观经济、财务等知识都和我们的工作密不可分,客户也要求我们对其所处的行业具备深入了解。在此基础上,我们才能更好地服务客户。
未来行业展望
尹律师认为在未来,科技的不断创新和发展将会给法律行业带来颠覆性革命。律所需要考虑的是如何参与到这一进程中去;而强化个人差异化的优势则是每个律师都需要考虑的问题。
Yin Yue joined Jingtian & Gongcheng in 2005 and became a partner in 2013. Her practice areas include capital market, M&A and overseas listing. Yin’s rich experience and multi-area knowledge have helped many enterprises achieve overseas listing, making her an industry leading figure.
Out of the box, expand the box
In her 14-year’s career so far, Yin has successfully helped enterprises to be listed overseas in many cases even when she did not have any precedent to learn from. These projects include helping Shanghai Jin Jiang International to be the first China mainland pure Chinese hotel concept stock listed in Hongkong capital market and helping Dili Group to be China’s first listed company developing, using and operating underground civil air defense work. When every new deal structure is being established, Yin dares to make bold hypothesis, break the constraint of traditional thoughts based on a deep understanding of extant regulation, meanwhile she also conducts strict and detailed legal argument by reading into the rules and understanding the intention of policy makers. Jingtian & Gongcheng’s partner says: “she is the most talented and diligent lawyer I have ever trained. With her background in law and business, she is always creative and insightful in business structure design.”
Advantages and challenges
for excellent female lawyers
As a successful female lawyer, Yin believes that female lawyers have stronger communication skills. In personalities, they are also more detail-oriented and observant. Meanwhile female legal professionals are more inclined to friendly cooperation than competition, which is an advantage that can transfer into a challenge when there are more rival competitions after reaching a partner’s level. Therefore, Yin’s advice for young female lawyers is: firstly, understand the industry deeply, observe everyone closely to have a clear positioning of themselves and establish a vision of the big picture; secondly, develop an objective understanding of themselves by listening to feedbacks from clients, partners and supervising lawyers, which will be helpful for future career planning.
Building an all-round team
Yin has obtained master’s degrees in law and finance respectively in University of Pennsylvania and Peking University, and she also encourages her team to constant learn and have knowledge of multiple areas. Yin believes that the essence of business decides the form of law, thus knowledge in all segments of business is what the clients expect from them, and only based on this can they provide better legal services.
Anticipations of the industry
Yin believes that in the future, the fast-paced development in science and technology will bring game-changing revolutions to the whole industry. What law firms should consider is how they can participate in this progress whereas for lawyers, they should think about strengthening their distinguished advantages.
