Chapter 3 Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes

"There is a high probability that the anonymous envelope has not been filed, so it is trying to extort?"

"No, I heard that the other one is already in the Public Security Bureau, and I estimate that the investigation will start tomorrow at the latest."

Before the case was filed, Ashley was able to know so many details, could it be that Shao Tian had already invited him to come out?

"Boss, are you going to take this case?"

Ashley didn't speak, the glass in his hand dangling.

Between the two of us, there was a moment of silence.

From what I have known and judged about Ashley over the years, there are very few cases that can be brought to the dinner table before signing the agency agreement, and most of the decisions are made by himself. So, I would venture to guess that either there are still doubts about the nature and impact of this case, or there is a need for manpower.

"My opinion?" I was the first to break the silence.

Ashley raised his hand and made a "please" gesture.

"Once this case is exposed by the media, it will sweep the whole city with the momentum of a prairie fire. From the perspective of V.A, in recent years, we have been firmly on the major lists for civil and commercial cases and corporate compliance, and in terms of criminal proceedings, it cannot be said that there are no achievements, but it is indeed not too loud. If you want to expand your business in this area and make V.A a comprehensive law firm, then this case is a great opportunity. Even if we don't succeed, we can let some potential customers see our capabilities. Whether it is exposure to Sheng Clan's ability or legal skills. Just like the entertainment law firm in the circle, they don't always win the lawsuit, but they can always get cases from celebrities. From your point of view, if you want to take over, I personally think that you still need to form a team, and it is more efficient to fight as a team. What's more, this type of case is sometimes easy to be concealed and misled by the parties, and there are more people who can better protect themselves. Then, from the perspective of legal analysis, because I don't know much about it, and I haven't yet reached the point where lawyers can access evidence, I still have reservations, and it is more prudent for the agency opinion to focus on sentencing. ”

Ashley pondered for a moment, "From a lawyer's point of view, not bad. Listen, you're in favor of taking on this case. ”

"Ashley", I smiled, and I would barely call him by his name, "friend's perspective, I don't think it should be answered." Obviously, the judicial process of this case is easily guided by public opinion. Taking a step back, we now have a lot of cases on hand, and almost every lawyer and assistant has never used up their annual leave, and there is no shortage of this case. Take a step back and say, over the years, you have worked steadily and steadily to have your current status, and there is no need to be pushed to the forefront because of a case. ”

"Is this questioning my ability to take on criminal cases? Or, worried about me? "It's not a good time to joke.

"Boss, 'The facts are not determined by a verdict.'" Remember, this was the first thing you said to me when I entered the law firm. ”

"I've also taught you not to jump to conclusions before investigating. Don't worry, I won't make a move if I'm not sure. ”

The borscht on the table was no longer hot, the delicate plate was filled with lemon and chocolate sauce, and I still had half a glass of wine in my goblet. Picking up the napkin and dipping my mouth into it, I nodded.

"Okay boss, then I'll add Lawyer Zhang and Lawyer Wang to the team?" Usually talking about this, I'm ready to pick up my phone and pull the WeChat group.

"The Sheng family's confidentiality requirements are stricter, so I'll come by myself this time." Ashley filled me with wine.

β€œCheers”

β€œCheers”

On second thought, I don't need to worry too much about Ashley, how could he be alone. Sheng's legal department also has some reputation in the industry, and the six people who are mainly responsible for it are all graduated from five colleges and four departments, and they usually follow Shao Dong to socialize, all of them are of a single gender, which happens to be around Ashley's age. Because they are all corporate lawyers, they can only represent legal cases in which their own units are parties. But most likely, Ashley will negotiate this case with them.

In fact, over the years, many business tycoons have been rejected by him, I don't know which line he has taken and why the Sheng family suddenly aroused his interest.

"What else do you want to ask me? Overdue will not wait. ”

"The Sheng family has a really big face, and he can make our boss go to the criminal court."

"Haha, that's what I said. Shao Dong and his mother are card friends, so, Lavender, I was also invited to be involuntarily. That's right

The big intellectual property case in my hand, I don't worry about other people, you can follow it. ”

"But you promised to take Jojo to do itβ€”" I grimaced.

Who is Jojo? is Uncle Ashley's girlfriend. Yes, you read that right.

Recalling the case of intellectual property, the scene is really unsightly.

The party is Huanyu Information Technology Co., Ltd., the leader of domestic mobile communication equipment technology. I heard that their previous legal team was broken up by a rival company and was basically paralyzed. Recently, Huanyu plans to sue insiders for leaking core secrets to competitors, so we have found our V.A agent.

"Ashley, I'll take care of this case." After the client leaves, Jojo brings it up at a weekly meeting.

I held my chin in my hand, turned my pen, and smiled at how Ashley coped with his little aunt.

In recent years, the market economy has been booming, the state has begun to pay attention to the legal protection of innovation achievements, and the laws and regulations on intellectual property rights have gradually improved, but this also means that intellectual property cases are becoming more and more difficult to fight and require a lot of practical experience.

Qiao Qiao is just a newcomer, and he will definitely not be able to cope with the intellectual property case when he gets started.

"Huanyu is very complicated, Qiaoqiao may not be able to do it."

"Hey, whoever can do a good job in the first place, don't they all have to start and take their time!"

"Lavender can pick it up."

"Doesn't she have a contract dispute case on her hands? Too busy. ”

"But Jojo is inexperienced......"

I didn't want to get involved, so I hurriedly got out: "Indeed, the contract dispute has not yet come to an end, and besides, I am not very familiar with the intellectual property case." ”

Everyone looked at Ashley.

"That's it, I'll take Qiaoqiao to do Huanyu's case." The boss spoke, and the rest of the people were silent.

I heard that that that night, Ashley's uncle called and talked to him earnestly for half an hour, probably meaning to let Jojo practice his hands and not let the family be tired.

This little girl doesn't do anything good, but she just becomes a lawyer; It's okay to be a lawyer, but you have to go to V.A, and even if you get into V.A, you still have a relationship with your boss's uncle.

When she knows that the case has changed hands, she may not know how to make trouble.
