16 June 2016 is an inspirational and proud day for all the Guantaoers. After the successful test run of Shanghai Tower, Guantao accomplished another important service project – opening of the Shanghai Disney. It lasted for six years from the approval of the project to the opening of Shanghai Disney Resort. Guantao Law Firm Shanghai Office, led by Mr. Sheng Leiming, acted as permanent legal adviser from the establishment of Shanghai Shendi Group and the approval of Disney project. The legal team included a number of excellent lawyers such as Zou Lihong, Shen Renxu, Jiang Qiujie, Gu Jianfei, Deng Zhe, Cao Rong etc. Guantao team provided multidirectional, multilevel and multidisciplinary legal services through on-site lawyers and back-office support. Each contract, legal opinion and negotiation exemplifies great effort and professionalism of Guantao lawyers.
Reviewing the past six years, the characteristics of Guantao legal services embody in the following two words: "Comprehensive" and "New". On the one hand, "Comprehensive" means that our legal services cover almost all areas including regional development, engineering construction, project financing, intellectual property, financial planning, commercial development, corporate management, dispute resolution etc. Guantao team always adapted flexibly to a developing situation and provided tailored solutions. On the other hand, "New" implies that the legal services are extremely path breaking and forward-looking. There are many unprecedented issues in the macroscopic frame, such as the position, attribute and cooperation manner, and in specific issues, such as engineering construction, project operation and special facilities. With little precedent to follow, Guantao team managed to offer innovative solutions.
