Secretary-General of the National Intellectual Property Protection Center for Animation Games, Director of the Information Network and High-tech Business Committee of Shanghai Lawyers Association (since 2007), the first lawyer of the online game professional Committee of the Municipal Information Service Association ... Lawyer Shang Jiangang, in his early 30 s, a partner of Shanghai Deloitte Law Firm, is now a senior partner of Beijing Dacheng Law Firm, and has made great achievements in the field of online legal services in China. Whenever hot issues appear on the Internet, Shang Jiangang is always the star of all kinds of media. Internet copyright, domain name disputes, online games, e-commerce, cyber crimes, etc. He can provide professional legal advice and even industry views for the parties. Several network "first cases" attracted many customers.
Seize the internet craze
The first BBS moderator of Fudan Law Edition
Shang Jiangang used to be an avid math enthusiast, and won the first prize in the national math competition many times in middle school. 1994, Shang Jiangang was admitted to the Mathematics Department of Fudan University for winning the Olympic Mathematics Competition. However, the life of the mathematics department composed of "a pen and a piece of paper" made him feel a little boring, so at his insistence, he transferred from 65438 to the law department of 0995, becoming the only day student in Fudan who changed his major. In his own words, going to the law department feels like going to heaven and becoming an avid law lover.
At this time, the internet industry began to set off a heat wave, and the BBS "Sun Moon Guanghua" station of Fudan University was also born that year. With a 286 computer, Shang Jiangang became a trend leader of the Internet, created the legal version of the school BBS, and served as the moderator. Since then, he has forged an indissoluble bond with the Internet.
Shang Jiangang found that although science students know technology, they often lack management knowledge and written expression ability. He saw the contradiction between technology and system and the lag between technology development and law in the development of network, and also foresaw his future development opportunities-after all, the development of every industry cannot be separated from the support of law.
In his view, the lawyer industry is only the first, not the second. Clients always want to find the best lawyer. There are many experienced veterans in criminal, financial, real estate and other fields, and it is not easy for Shang Jiangang to surpass his predecessors in these fields. And the network is a golden opportunity before us. Just as many experienced lawyers are indifferent to the legal business of stocks and securities when stocks rise, some young lawyers seize this opportunity and succeed. As a result, when most people still know nothing about the internet, Shang Jiangang has already begun to prepare for his network legal service career.
There is another episode. Shang Jiangang was originally a science student, and only after he transferred to liberal arts did he discover the importance of written expression. He began to write articles diligently and practice writing. In the process of continuous submission, he mastered the trick and wrote comments and explanatory articles from the legal point of view in time for current hot issues. As a result, he published many articles and became famous in the circle.
Later, Shang Jiangang attended some IT parties, where he met many IT celebrities from major websites. After learning that Shang Jiangang often published articles, these IT people invited him to make an appointment. For a time, Shang Jiangang's articles can be found on websites such as Tianji, Qianlong. com, Chinabye and Donews. Internet ills, game disputes, email responsibilities, online copyright, etc. Every article by Shang Jiangang keeps up with hot spots and gets a very high click-through rate. Gradually, the traditional media began to pay attention to him and invited him to express his opinions when reporting related issues. In this way, Shang Jiangang's name is familiar to more and more people who care about network development.
The greatest wish
Be a preacher of network law
& lt/strong & gt； Commercial lawyers have accumulated a lot of management experience because of their constant contact with various network companies. At the same time, they have also seen the problems existing in these companies: entrepreneurs of small and medium-sized network companies are mostly from science, and they often lack management experience and are confused about various frameworks or details such as company contracts, enterprise decentralization, business models and investment models. At the same time, these enterprises have simple business, strong professionalism and problems in communication with the outside world.
Commercial lawyers will provide enterprises with various solutions, from network risk avoidance to how to motivate employees to work. Lawyer Shang said: "I am a lawyer who makes health products, not antibiotics."
Not long ago, a commercial lawyer just helped a company operating online games negotiate financing and obtained $5 million in overseas investment. During the negotiation, the commercial lawyer introduced China's policies and relevant laws and regulations on online games to investors, and frankly informed the risks existing in the industry. This allowed investors to speak the same language with him immediately and deeply trusted his professionalism.
Shang Jiangang said that at present, due to the lack of standardization in the industry and the small scale of many enterprises, there are not many companies with legal awareness and funds. He conservatively estimated that after five years, the industry will begin to mature, and by that time, the legal business related to the network will be more enthusiastic. But Shang Jiangang doesn't want to be a "lonely hero". He hopes that more lawyers can join the ranks. When other lawyers encounter problems in network law, he is also generous. At Deloitte Law Firm, he is also trying to train young lawyers and encourage them to start their own businesses.
In addition, he has published four books related to network law, and taught the course of "Network Law Research" in Shanghai TV University for a long time. He teaches directly to RTVU teachers and students, which also takes up a lot of his working time. But commercial lawyers don't mind this "loss-making business" and think it also brings him a lot of happiness. He said: "I just want to be a preacher of network law."
