Attorney Wang Zhiming presents and shares

Recently, Wang Zhiming, a senior partner at Beijing Huatai Law Firm, served as A special lecture was held on the topic "Key Analysis of Lawyers' Case Management Practices." Attorney Wang, drawing on more than 20 years of professional experience, systematically analyzed the core methods lawyers use in handling cases—from administrative litigation representation and pre-trial preparation to practical techniques and a commitment to upholding the rule of law.

Administrative Litigation Representation: Breaking Through Procedural Barriers, Upholding the Bottom Line of Fairness

Attorney Wang used the full process of an administrative litigation case—ranging from the first trial to remand for retrial—as a case study to break down the key challenges of representation: from building the initial chain of evidence and crafting courtroom debate strategies, to navigating the retrial procedures. He emphasized that lawyers must approach each step with meticulous attention and strategic foresight. “Systemic thinking” cuts through the complex interplay between administrative power and judicial discretion, emerging as a key factor in ensuring fairness in cases. Data shows that in several administrative cases it has handled, precise procedural application led to reversals for retrial or overturned judgments, effectively checking and balancing against abuses of administrative authority.

Pre-trial Preparation and Professional Conduct: Excellence in Expertise, Confidence That Wins the Day

Court preparation is regarded by Attorney Wang as "Cornerstone of Winning," which encompasses in-depth investigation of case facts, precise alignment with relevant statutes, multi-dimensional presentation of evidence, and dynamic adjustments to courtroom strategies. He specifically emphasized that a lawyer's authority stems from "flawlessly reciting legal provisions and effortlessly recalling every intricate detail of the case," while their courage and confidence shine through the ability to uphold clients' rights with professional judgment—even under intense pressure. For instance, in a certain economic dispute case, he successfully anticipated his opponent's evidentiary weaknesses by conducting pre-trial mock trials and strategic simulations, ultimately delivering a decisive victory during the actual courtroom proceedings.

Cracking Practical Pain Points: A Strategic Breakthrough from Timeliness to Discretionary Power

    Addressing frequently encountered challenges such as expired statutes of limitations and difficulties in filing cases, Attorney Wang shares his insights. "The Three-Step Method" ：

Extending Lifespan Through Timeliness: Utilize the statute of limitations interruption rules from the Civil Code to design a plan for continuing rights claims;

Initiate a Case to Break the Impasse: Through "Supportive litigation" opens the gateway to cases (e.g., using jurisdictional objections to compel case filing and review);

Discretionary Power Regulation ： Introduce case-law retrieval reports into the trial proceedings, using "The 'same case, same judgment' principle restrains judicial arbitrariness."

In mediation scenarios, he advocates "The Art of Tiered Negotiation for Interests"—start by setting the core demands as your bottom line, then leverage concessions on secondary terms to secure overall advantages. A labor dispute case recently achieved a mediation settlement amount that doubled precisely through this approach.

Interactive Upgrade: From Case-by-Case Experience to Industry-Wide Progress
