Managing Partner of the Year: HUA, Xiaojun (Warren)


In January 2021, the new Management Board of JunHe was announced, with HUA, Xiaojun (Warren) elected as the chairman. Over the past year, the international political and economic landscape has undergone significant changes, the recurring epidemic has had a material impact on the real economy, and our market environment and client needs have continued to evolve. To meet these new challenges, Mr. Hua leveraged the institutional advantages of our integrated platform to cultivate our internal strength. This was through a series of measures such as reform, integration and optimization to improve our overall competitiveness. They included restructuring lawyers’ compensation, clearly positioning the function of each component of compensation and increasing the difference between compensation for internal incentive purposes; integrating the professional advantages of elite staff members in various fields, and creating large practice departments such as compliance, medicine and medical care, to provide clients with systematic and one-stop legal services; optimizing the internal digital management system, and improving internal operational efficiency by building the KMS knowledge management system, robotics and other technical means.
