Under the leadership of Yan, the partners co-operation mechanism, the lawyer performance appraisal system, and the full-time professional team’s 360° evaluation system have provided beneficial explorations towards the development and growth of Jia Yuan’s team of Chinese lawyers, which has opened up new ideas for the stability of the firm and the training of new lawyers.
