Concerning government procurement
The legal consultation industry is a key specialty in which lawyers can achieve a great deal
The legal consultation industry is one of the key specialties in this public recruitment. This is because during the government legal service procurement process, there is a great need for legal professional evaluation experts to review and assess the qualifications of suppliers providing legal services. They also need to provide legal consultation and support to the purchaser, answer legal questions involved in the procurement process, and assist in handling potential legal disputes. Moreover, they should supervise the fairness and transparency of the procurement procedures to ensure that procurement activities adhere to the principles of fairness, impartiality, and openness, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of both parties in the procurement. Considering the above legal service scenarios, it is evident that lawyers, by virtue of their professional expertise, can make a difference in the field of government procurement by serving as evaluation experts. Director Yuan Xinzhong stated that he is honored to be employed as an evaluation expert for government procurement in Shanghai and contribute his modest legal efforts to government procurement work. At the same time, he is well aware of the importance of this role and the responsibilities it entails. Evaluation experts in the legal industry play a crucial role in legal supervision and guarantee during procurement activities. Director Yuan believes that through the joint efforts of every evaluation expert, the credibility of government procurement can be further enhanced, and the trust and support of all sectors of society for government work can be strengthened. Shanghai Lingyun Yongran Law Firm has always paid close attention to participating in the government's law - based governance work. Lawyers from the firm have long served as members of the Professional Committee on Government Legal Advisers of the Shanghai Bar Association, thus providing more efficient and professional legal support to clients. After Director Yuan Xinzhong's special introduction to the government procurement evaluation work, lawyers from the firm will intensify their research on this aspect of business, so as to make the firm's legal services more comprehensive and refined, and meet the needs of the times and society.
