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.
