As the joint head of the ‌Real Estate and Construction Department, Lawyer Su has been committed to building the  team over the past year. She has established a talent pool, a systematic operation promotion and talent training mechanism, and formed a service process based on the basic model of partner-lead lawyer-legal assistant, which plays a crucial role in providing efficient and high-quality legal services to clients. Drawing on her industry service experience and market insight, Su takes the lead in guiding the team to upgrade and transform the firm’s business, explore upstream and downstream opportunities within the industry, and provide specialized legal services such as project crisis management for clients. She actively promotes customized and productized legal services and adapts to new customer development requirements. A landmark case is the three series of engineering cases between China Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. and China Construction Third Engineering Bureau, which Su, as the leading partner, organized department lawyers to undertake. The case lasted for three years and was settled through mediation in the first and second trials. The actual amount of assistance provided to the client in reducing losses was approximately 500 million yuan.
