Editor's review
For law students and newcomers to the profession, this book is a rare "career navigation map" and "practical manual" that helps build a systematic understanding of the role and avoid the long, bewildering journey from theory to practice. For business department heads, entrepreneurs, and managers, it is a "decoder" that helps them understand the value logic of legal affairs and learn to collaborate with legal more efficiently to safeguard the enterprise together. Xu Taihui's writing is plain and restrained, offering both macro discussion of career development paths and micro demonstrations of revising contract clauses, reflecting his deep practical experience and sincere willingness to share. In an age when compliance is increasingly important, this book opens a pragmatic door to understanding the rule-of-law operation of modern enterprises.

- Focus on the chapters on contract review and the art of communication, which are the cornerstone and the core soft skill of legal work
