A large red billboard overlooking New York Times Square that read: “China’s first 100 million yuan (approx. US$16 million) online legal service provider Lawcheck to debut on August 18th” caught the attention of many of the tourists and pedestrians walking through the Square on the afternoon of July 31, 2015, in New York.
August 1, 2015 marked the 88th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. Haishen Li, the general manager of Lawcheck, said that the service’s debut on the billboard overlooking Times Square on this important day not only demonstrated the company’s competitive strength, but more importantly expressed the firm determination of the Chinese people to fulfill the Chinese Dream by building China into a rule of law country and reinvigorating the pride everyone feels about their homeland.
The Chinese company has set up several cloud service centers worldwide and established relationships with over 10,000 licensed attorneys from across a wide spectrum of practicing areas and from over a thousand well-known law firms. The service portfolio includes online-to-offline legal consulting, downloading contracts and legal documents, reviewing and drafting contracts as well as litigation and non-litigation businesses.
Mr. Li further explained: “Through the international platform, we aim to demonstrate the advantages of China-based internet legal services to the whole world and create a leading global legal service platform providing legal services in China.”
Several industry analysts indicated that Lawcheck’s international and professional management and technical teams backed by 100 million yuan in registered capital will become key drivers for the transformation of the market for China-based legal services.
Times Square, located at the iconic triangle in New York’s Midtown Manhattan, is the home of NASDAQ and many famous brand merchants. It is also the crossroads of the world and one of the world’s most popular tourist attractions.
The announcement of the 100 million yuan legal service platform displayed on the large billboard overlooking New York’s Times Square, a window that attracts global attention, demonstrated the ambition of marching into the Chinese online legal services and conveyed the strong desire in Chinese people to realize the Chinese Dream.
