The company's risks mainly come from natural risks of force majeure, commercial risks under market factors and legal risks under the legal liability system. Unclear company rights and responsibilities, hasty decision-making, lack of systems and out-of-control supervision are the main internal causes of legal risks, while violations of laws and regulations, contract breaches and infringement are the main external causes of legal risks. The aforementioned legal risks will cause the company to suffer economic losses or various penalties, causing damage to the company's tangible and intangible assets. The scope of work and service content of Shandong Qianshun Law Firm's legal advisors are determined and developed around the prediction, prevention, control and resolution of relevant legal risks.
3. Specific plans and contents of legal advisory services
(1) Legal consultation, legal investigation, and provision of legal advice.
Based on past experience, if a company can consult with legal advisors before, during and even after the event on its daily operations, management and business activities, the effect will not only be reflected in the avoidance of legal risks and the reduction of contingent losses, but also And it will be implemented in the work thinking of the company's employees, thereby developing work habits that are very beneficial to the company.

We hope that through the establishment or revision of the following main company rules and regulations, we can help the company avoid operating risks and reduce losses. Expand the company's intangible assets (such as trade secret protection system and intellectual property management system).
Therefore, we will take company law as the core and focus on the legal establishment and improvement of the following matters.
1. Articles of Association
As the company’s “constitution”, the Articles of Association are often ignored by investors and company senior managers. The format of articles of association commonly used by companies now does not take into account the particularity of the company, which may prevent the company's senior management from operating in accordance with the articles of association when certain major events occur, leading to company deadlock. For this reason, the formulation, modification and improvement of the company's articles of association are very important. Even if it cannot be revised, efforts should be made to make operability corrections as much as possible. For shareholders, board members or company senior managers, the company's articles of association are the main guide for their work. A legal analysis of this can help avoid the risk of ultra vires or infringement.

The rules of procedure and work include shareholders’ rules of procedure, board of directors’ rules of procedure, supervisory board’s rules of procedure and manager’s work rules, etc. Without rules, there is no circle. The level of execution is the foundation for the survival and development of a modern company. The company may have formulated rules for discussion and work, but formulation is not the purpose. The purpose is to safeguard the best interests of the company through implementation. We suggest that the company implement a follow-up system for the above-mentioned rules by consultant lawyers, implement the procedural laws for company operations, and have the right to make suggestions and report to company supervisors and other senior managers.
3. Contract management system
The contract management system is the company’s basic system for preventing risks. It cannot be simply understood as a contract custody system. Its contents mainly include: contract management The establishment and responsibilities of the organization, management of basic contract information, contract templates, contract signing, contract performance, dispute resolution, supervision, inspection, rewards and punishments. Its main function is to prevent beforehand and control during the incident, and its auxiliary function is to remedy the incident afterwards. The role of this system will be reflected in contract preparation, review and signing, contract performance, dispute resolution and breach of contract remedies.
In accordance with the contract management system, company employees will be required to participate in the use of contract templates, authorization, use of official seals (contract-specific seals), contract review, early warning of contract disputes, handling of contract disputes, contract management statistics and contract supervision. There are rules to follow regarding inspections and other details.

6. Disposal of emergencies.
In recent years, our country’s economy has continued to grow strongly. At the same time, emergencies in various industries in our country have occurred from time to time, which have had a negative impact on the economic development of related companies. Such emergencies include security emergencies in public places, "a snowstorm that has not happened in a century in southern my country, railway train derailment and collision, Songhua River pollution incident, airline return incident, bank vault theft incident, hotel apple snail incident", etc. These emergencies include Incidents can cause heavy losses to the company, and even cause the enterprise to suffer a devastating blow. For company decision-makers, when an emergency occurs, how to successfully deal with and respond to the media will become a good opportunity to enhance the company's core competitiveness, help increase the outside world's understanding of the company, reduce the company's operating costs, and expand the market share.
Therefore, the company must make reasonable arrangements for certain events that may have a significant impact on the company and handle emergencies. Based on recent examples and our own research and discussion, we believe that consulting lawyers can play a variety of roles in emergencies. Based on the "Emergency Response Law", we focus on analyzing and pre-studying the public relations and early warning mechanisms for corporate emergencies. System and integration of emergency plans, news handling of emergencies, media reporting, active response to media crises, and how to reduce legal liability.

1. Labor and personnel
Company competition is ultimately a competition for talents. How to attract talents? Retaining and cultivating talents are the key to a company's long-term prosperity. Comparing companies in Europe, Japan and my country, it is not difficult to find that most companies in my country still follow the same trends in talent cultivation concepts and systems. Straightening out labor and personnel relations not only protects workers, but also develops and strengthens the company. We will focus on the company's formulation and application of labor contract templates, form an institutionalized working mechanism + consultant lawyer follow-up, and at the same time improve the company's rules and regulations, and publicize the legal effect of the employee handbook to employees. Improve the evidence retention system for employee disciplinary violations and improve employee resignation and dismissal procedures to actively respond to possible labor arbitrations and lawsuits.

The most important things for a company are management methods, production and marketing strategies, customer lists, supply information and other business information. Trade secrets are related to a company's competitiveness and are crucial to its development. They are also the company's most "profitable" weapon. We will focus on how to make the company's valuable information a trade secret and protected by law, how to make the company's customer list a protected object of trade secrets, and establish and improve the company's trade secret protection system (such as signing non-compete agreements, labor contracts, Confidentiality clauses or confidentiality agreement systems), and provide employees with training on civil, administrative and criminal responsibilities arising from infringement of trade secrets from time to time.

In order to protect the company’s interests from the source, we will impose restrictions on employees who are responsible for keeping the company’s business secrets in the labor contract and ownership of intellectual property rights.

Intangible assets are important capital of a company, which inevitably involves legal mechanisms on how to protect and maximize the value of the company’s intellectual property rights.

In this regard, we will take care of both aspects, namely establishing and improving the company's contract operation and evidence preservation mechanisms, and using mature wisdom to resolve the above disputes to safeguard the company's interests.
