Lawyer "001" of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area Lawyer

Xinhua News Agency, Guangzhou, September 7 (Reporter Che Xiaozheng Yang Shuxin) Wearing a lawyer's robe and a lawyer badge, He Junyao, who is a litigation agent, recently attended the trial of contract disputes in Hong Kong residents involved in mainland properties. This is the first case he was allowed to be agent after practicing in the Mainland.

"The first time in the mainland court appeared in court, this is a very fresh experience." He Junyao said.

In July of this year, four Hong Kong and Macao lawyers such as Junyao of Guangdong Province issued a lawyer's practice certificate of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area. They have become the first Hong Kong and Macau lawyers in the nine cities in the Greater Bay Area.

On social platforms, He Junyao posted a practice certificate numbered "No.90000001". He wrote: "Jun Yao is very honored and grateful. I will continue to work hard to provide high -quality legal services to the mainland compatriots and try their best to the development of the Greater Bay Area."

He Junyao, who has experienced more than 30 years of experience in lawyers, is a well -known "big -shaped" in Hong Kong. He admitted to Xinhua News Agency that it was not easy to get a mainland practice certificate. He had to break through the written test, training, and interview "three levels", which lasted for nearly a year.

Earlier, Hong Kong and Macau lawyers who want to obtain a unified national judicial examination must pass the unified national judicial examination, which is equivalent to learning the legal knowledge of the Mainland from scratch. The lawyer of the lawyers of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area has more than five years of practicing experience in Hong Kong and Macao, and the content of the examination is also adjusted accordingly. It can be said that it is "tailor -made."

"This has opened a vast space for Hong Kong and Macao lawyers." He Junyao said that the accelerated integration and development of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area has generated huge market demand for cross -border legal services. Hong Kong and Macao lawyers participated in the judicial practice of the Mainland and studied with mainland lawyers in both ways.

In fact, He Junyao is no stranger to the Mainland economy and legal affairs. As early as 2004, his Hong Kong Lawyer Building set up an office in Guangzhou to provide customers with relevant services such as foreign legal consultation. After obtaining a practice certificate, He Junyao was hired as the "Chief Counselor of the Greater Bay Area Legal Affairs" of Guangdong Guangxin Junda Law Firm, and soon took over the two mainland legal cases and became a litigation agent.

"Now more and more people in Hong Kong and Macau invest in, work, and live in the Greater Bay Area, and related legal needs will be more and more." He Junyao said, "In addition to language and culture, Hong Kong and Macao lawyers are familiar with Hong Kong, Macau, and relevant international laws. And the rules, these will become our advantage of practicing in the Mainland. "

Although affected by the epidemic, He Junyao failed to reach the trial site in Shenzhen, the efficient online court in the Mainland left a deep impression on him: "The video can be clearly seen, and the secretary will first score the trial record for the reference of both parties for reference. The trial process is very humane and efficient. "

Because of the optimistic future development prospects of the Greater Bay Area lawyers, Guangxin Junda Law Firm has signed a contract with five Hong Kong and Macao lawyers who have obtained a lawyer's practice certificate from the Greater Bay Area.

Deng Chuanyuan, vice chairman of the Guangzhou Lawyers Association and senior partner of Guangxinjunda Law Firm, told reporters that the number of legal affairs in the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area is increasing. Improve the capabilities and international competitiveness of the Greater Bay Area.

"Through these Hong Kong and Macao lawyers, they can also expand the scope of foreign -related services in mainland law firms, such as legal services to help mainland companies go to Hong Kong to go public. This integration and interaction is two -way." Deng Chuanyuan said.

As of now, the Guangdong Provincial Department of Justice has issued a lawyer certificate of more than 40 Hong Kong and Macao lawyers. In addition, hundreds of Hong Kong and Macao lawyers have passed the Greater Bay Area Lawyer's practice examination, and they will obtain a practice certificate in accordance with regulations.
