12月17日，2021 ALB十五佳公司法务团队颁奖典礼在北京四季酒店举行，获奖的十五佳公司法务团队代表出席了此次盛会。

汤森路透法律传媒集团负责人谢京庭女士透过视频向嘉宾致辞，中伦律师事务所合伙人邱建律师则于现场致辞。他们共同祝贺十五佳公司法务团队获奖，并欢迎各位嘉宾的出席。

本次活动随后进入重磅讨论环节，由中伦律师事务所合伙人邓福荣律师担纲主持，邀请到天境生物首席法务官李程先生、深圳天使母基金管理公司风险管理部部长/风控团队负责人刘翔先生、中意人寿保险有限公司合规负责人/法律合规部总经理伦羽先生、中伦律师事务所合伙人张平律师，以及中伦律师事务所合伙人蒋蕙匡律师参与讨论。几位嘉宾就“中国经济在构建新发展格局中迈出新步伐，展现出中国经济和中国企业的韧性，法务团队如何为企业应对机遇与挑战的韧性助力”这一话题，分享了精彩见解。

邓福荣律师指出，企业法务团队一直是为公司业务保驾护航的中坚力量，他向几位提问：过去一年，企业法务如何支持公司的业务增长与创新？

李程先生表示，法务部门在具备全球化视野的同时，通过团队升级、加强人员配置，在知识产权及跨境交易两个细分领域深耕，与各领域专家密切合作，良好沟通也是企业法务支持公司业务的不二法门。

刘翔先生提出，由于政府引导基金受到证监会/中基协及属地政府的双重管理，法务需要在两者之间把握合规尺度。“三道防线、五个职能”的设立使得深圳天使母基金法务部能够很好地支持业务发展。

伦羽先生坦言，保险行业历史久远，对于保险企业法务而言，创新是个难题。但伴随金融行业监管趋严，保险企业的法务团队需跟随宏观大势，只有清楚了解经济态势、保险趋势和监管动态，紧跟公司业务、产品结构、人员构成变化，才能够为企业提供更好的法律服务。

随后，邓福荣律师请几位专家就企业法务对外部律师的要求和标准进行分享。

刘翔先生直言，专业、尽职、尽责是基本，此外，从行业角度及监管层面出发，能够参与到规则制定是加分；李程先生提出，深耕行业领域、了解制度才能够识别风险点，提出务实的解决方案；伦羽先生表示，中国的法制环境发生了巨大变化，具备专业素质、能够与法务共担责任的外部律师是最为需要的人才。

最后，邓福荣律师请中伦律师事务所的两位律师分享与法务协作，推进企业业务发展的心得。

张平律师表示，做律师必须有深度，“一主两辅”的专业能力很重要，每位律师都要深耕一个行业领域；而事务所必须有广度，合理划分不同行业领域，全方位保障客户需求。此外，在具备专业素养的基础上，还要接地气，站在客户角度看问题，为客户解决难题。

蒋蕙匡律师表示，强监管的环境使企业直面大量合规需求，不同行业不同场景都有触发合规风险的可能性。所谓合规，一分法规，九分合，如何保障合规制度的实操落地，是企业法务和外部律师需要共同思考解决的问题。因此，与企业法务的良好合作将为公司的业务发展更好地保驾护航。

最后，邓福荣律师总结道，未来，公司法务与外部律师将越来越密切地展开合作。外部律师并不是简单提供法律意见，而是在专业素养的基础上，深入了解行业领域及企业的业务逻辑，助力企业管控风险、实现商业目标。

精彩讨论后，本次活动进入到高潮的颁奖环节，本环节由汤森路透领导及中伦律师事务所的专家担任颁奖嘉宾，十五佳公司法务团队代表依次上台领奖，并就“高效式工作，积极式‘躺平’——法务与业务密切合作的锦囊妙计”这一小话题进行分享。

中伦律师事务所合伙人常明君律师告诉ALB：“今年是ALB和中伦共同举办十五佳公司法务团队颁奖活动的第七年。祝贺他们在自己的岗位上做出了成绩、特色。同样作为法律人，我理解他们的辛勤深耕，我也为今年上榜的十五佳公司法务团队市感到由衷的高兴。"

“近年来，公司法务开始承担更多的角色，为企业的合规、创新与业务发展保驾护航。作为外部律师，中伦能够提供更全面的法律服务。我们会继续为客户提供更为专业、更为贴心的法律服务。”
