What other circumstances affect the independence of securities lawyers?

Article 11 of the Measures for the Administration of Securities Legal Business of Law Firms: The same law firm shall not issue legal opinions for the issuer, sponsor and underwriting securities company of the same securities at the same time, nor shall it issue legal opinions for the same acquirer and the acquired listed company at the same time, nor shall it issue legal opinions for different stakeholders in other securities business activities. If a lawyer serves as a director, supervisor or senior manager of the company and its related parties, or there are other circumstances that affect the independence of lawyers, the law firm where the lawyer works shall not accept the entrustment of his company to provide securities legal services for the company.

1. The provisions of Article 11 of the Administrative Measures mentioned above are about the withdrawal of lawyers from practice. This provision reflects the lawyer's responsibility to avoid practicing in the process of engaging in securities legal business, and requires lawyers to maintain full independence to ensure that there is no interest relationship that may affect their independent judgment in the process of practicing, so as to maintain reasonable professional doubts.

Two, for other circumstances that affect the independence of lawyers, you can refer to the provisions of Article 44 of the Civil Procedure Law. In any of the following circumstances, the mental judge shall recuse himself, and the parties have the right to apply for his recusal orally or in writing:

(1) Being a party to the case or a close relative of a party or agent ad litem;

(2) Having an interest in the case;

(3) Having other relations with the parties or agents ad litem in this case, which may affect the fair trial of the case.

If a judge accepts a party or agent ad litem's invitation, or meets with a party or agent ad litem in violation of regulations, the party has the right to ask him to withdraw.
