ACLA commends Guantao and Guantao lawyer’s legal assistance works in Tibet
The year 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of the national pairing-up assistance program for Tibet. On December 3, the All China Lawyers Association (ACLA) convened a symposium in Beijing for lawyers aiding Tibet, during which it commended lawyers and law firms that have made outstanding contributions to the legal assistance efforts in the region. The event aimed to further advance the in-depth development of the legal profession’s targeted support initiatives in Tibet.
At the meeting, ACLA publicly commended 61 lawyers and 36 law firms for their legal assistance work in Tibet. Among them, Guantao and Mr. Gao Liwei, a Tibet-aiding lawyer from Guantao Luolong office, were specially honored.
Gao Zicheng, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of the National Lawyers Industry and President of ACLA, along with Tian Xin, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of the National Lawyers Industry and Director General of the Lawyer Affairs Bureau of the PRC Ministry of Justice, attended the meeting and delivered speeches. They highly commended the proactive contributions made by lawyers and law firms aiding Tibet in advancing the rule of law and legal development in the region.
Guantao actively responded to the call from the PRC Ministry of Justice to address the issue of counties without lawyers. In July 2022, Guantao established an office in Luolong County, Changdu City, Tibet, becoming the first law firm in the history of Luolong County. This initiative not only in form but also in substance filled the gap in local legal services. Mr. Gao Liwei, a lawyer from Guantao Luolong office serving in the Tibet aid program, dedicated himself selflessly on the snowy plateau. Overcoming challenges such as altitude sickness, he has delivered high-quality legal services to local residents.
Guantao is translating its social responsibility into concrete actions and will continue to fully support the development of public legal service infrastructure in underdeveloped regions. Upholding the principles of pursuit of excellence, integrity, diligence, efficiency and quality, Guantao lawyers will leverage their exceptional professional expertise to meet the demands of people in Tibetan regions for high-standard legal services. The firm remains committed to contributing to the national legal system development in Tibetan areas.
