Occupy a space for one person in Shenzhen lawyers to big business needs of Haipang, in addition to continuously upgrade their financial, securities and other high-end business service ability, should also continue to strengthen English language learning.

The total number of lawyers in Hongkong and Shenzhen is largely the same, but by the 2009 year, the total income of the lawyer industry in Shenzhen is 2247000000 yuan, the total income of the lawyer industry in Hongkong is about 1/5. This two legal service market and the breadth depth, but also with the lawyer industry management is closely related to the system, such as lawyers service charge system. The lawyer management services at Shenzhen lawyer service fees according to the national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of justice in April 13, 2006 promulgated the "" (development and reform the price (2006) No. 611) and the Guangdong Provincial Price Bureau, Department of justice in December 25, 2006 promulgated the "lawyer's fees management implementation approach" (Guangdong price (2006) No. 298) was the government guidance price, but because the amplitude is too broad, lawyers are mutually compete for business and low-cost competition often leads to practice, which not only reduces the lawyer overall income, but also destroy the lawyer industry management system, reduce the lawyer service quality, damaged the image of lawyers'. Through the effective system to promote Shenzhen lawyer competition order, promote Shenzhen lawyer service quality and image, Shenzhen should be based on the foregoing, refine the relevant and perfect lawyer charges system, in order to adapt to the construction and development of legal system in Qianhai, maintain the overall interests of the industry.
