Porterlem had just joined the Lu-Liu-Wang Law Firm for over a month. He was originally a fifth-level super lawyer in the imperial capital circle, but he made a mistake and was kicked out of his original law firm. The law firm even threatened to ban him from the entire industry.
Even when he arrived in the East Sea, the two top law firms in the Empire, Reed & Johnson & Smith & Stewart, refused to let him in, not to mention other big law firms and small and medium-sized law firms. After all, the legal circle is still relatively closed, and super-large firms will not tear each other apart unless necessary, and small and medium-sized firms cannot afford to offend super-large firms.
Fortunately, there is always a way out. With the guidance of an expert, Portram expressed his desire to join the law firm in Beiguan.
This law firm was not afraid of the unfamiliarity and quickly interviewed and hired him, although his qualifications were mediocre and he was only a junior partner with average dividends.
But for Portram, he finally had a place to settle down. As a lawyer with a bachelor's degree, it was good enough that he was not unemployed.
It's just that the three founders of this law firm, who are also the three bosses, are a little bit disappointing. The one with the highest rank is Lawyer Liu, who is only a fourth-rank senior lawyer, and Lawyer Wang, a first-rank lawyer, is basically engaged in the administrative management of the law firm.
But this law firm is extremely profitable, with quite a few lawyers at the fifth level. Not long ago, a lawyer at the sixth level joined the firm.
It seems that the law firm is also preparing to relocate to the city. This news has caused a stir among the law firms of all sizes in Donghai. There is no doubt that if this news is true, the territory of each law firm in Donghai will inevitably usher in a major reshuffle like a storm.
It is very dangerous for small and medium-sized law firms, but at the same time, it can also be an opportunity. What if a big firm falls apart
As for the big banks, they will face the baptism of fierce fighting.
The market share is limited, and when something terrible comes along to divide it up, fighting is inevitable. If too much of the market is taken away, some big banks will not be able to afford a large team of lawyers, and it is possible that they will disintegrate.
Therefore, there is a vague sense of tension and fear in the East China Sea legal community today, as if a storm is about to come.
Outsiders would naturally wonder how a Beiguan lawyer could have such an influence, but insiders understood that it was naturally because of the big boss of the firm, the legendary lawyer Lu Qianxing, who was just 20 years old and was already a third-level senior defense lawyer, setting a record for the youngest third-level lawyer in the imperial legal community.
He is extremely famous in the East China Sea legal circle and is said to be extremely domineering in court. Almost no lawyer is willing to go to court with him.
I had heard his name in the imperial capital, but I was somewhat skeptical.
I always feel that there may be a big shot at the level of royal barrister behind him who is planning for him. Only in this way can he be successful in everything he does. Even a legendary figure at the level of quasi-senior barrister like Richard has been defeated by him, and twice.
To be honest, Lawyer Lu is really a thorn in Barrister Richard's side. According to common sense, Barrister Richard's probation period should have been completed for a year, and in the absence of any bad deeds or scandals, he should be awarded the title of Senior Counsel.
There is no longer any assessment score for the title of Senior Barrister. It is a title awarded by the Imperial Bar Association to the barristers who have made the most outstanding contributions.
There are only ten vacancies each year, and overall, there are only a few dozen senior barristers in the entire empire.
However, this year the Imperial Bar has been slow to announce the list of those awarded the title of Senior Counsel.
It should be stuck with Richard. There is a lot of controversy within the Bar Association, which makes it difficult to produce the list.
The controversy surrounding Richard naturally came from the two lawsuits with Lawyer Lu, especially the one in the Western Region, where he was completely defeated by Lawyer Lu with a technical solution.
In fact, losing the lawsuit is not a big deal. There has never been an undefeated general in the judicial world. But according to the laws of the Federal Empire, it is obvious that he was a rape criminal, but he was beaten off legally and reasonably. This is really hard to understand.
Afterwards, the media in the imperial capital launched a series of attacks on Lawyer Lu, and they even dug into Lawyer Lu's privacy.
Everyone knows that this is what Attorney Richard did when he was furious.
This probably caused dissatisfaction among some senior members of the Bar Association. Using political criticism to launch personal attacks on rival lawyers after losing a case is obviously not in the spirit of a legal professional. If all lawyers follow suit, the judicial system will become a circus.
This also tarnished Richard's conduct, so whether he should be awarded the title of High Counsel has caused great controversy and has been difficult to decide.
All of this makes it easy for people to doubt that the person behind Lawyer Lu is probably a royal barrister-level figure.
In many cases, Lawyer Lu was merely an executor of his teacher's strategies and a favorite disciple that his teacher had worked hard to cultivate, but his talent was undoubtedly true.
This lawyer Lu is also extremely mysterious.
Even after joining this law firm, I had only met Lawyer Lu from a distance once at the monthly meeting.
However, I didn't expect that I would receive a call from Law Firm Officer Lu yesterday, asking me to go with him to two western states to fight a lawsuit.
Today, I was picked up on this luxurious private jet.
Sitting on the large leather seat in the cabin, Portram smiled bitterly.
On this plane, except for myself, everyone from the pilots to the flight attendants, affairs officers, and armed bodyguards were women, and they were all beautiful women.
If there are mosquitoes, they will probably be caught and looked at. Male mosquitoes are not allowed to enter, and female mosquitoes will also be selected for their good looks
This lawyer Lu is too arrogant...
Portram shook his head repeatedly in his heart. Famous lawyers are not short of money, but Lawyer Lu is probably the only one as rich as him.
But I have to say, it is really pleasing to glance at the beautiful girls wearing exquisite and beautiful flight attendant uniforms who occasionally pass by me.
Moreover, the temperament is very special.
Even though he had seen many big scenes, he still felt a little restrained at this moment. Most of the time, he was silent, looking out the window, feeling like a dependent.
Big stores bully their customers. Even if someone with much higher status than himself came on Lawyer Lu’s private plane, it would be difficult for him to remain calm, right
…
The middle cabin living room or lounge has a long row of cream-colored sofas next to the aircraft windows, with an exquisite small coffee table in the middle. Next to the window on the other side are two single sofas facing each other, with a table in the middle with chess, cards, drinks, etc. There is also a small bookshelf with books. The tone of the entire lounge is snow-white, which feels very technological.
Lu Ming was leaning against the sofa. There was a thick pile of files on the floor next to the sofa. Lu Ming picked one up and looked through it.
On the other side of the sofa, Pamela was sitting, drinking coffee elegantly. She happened to be going to a meeting with agents in a western state. Lu Ming had already told her that she would not use this plane much, as she traveled frequently and used it frequently.
Pamela was wearing an elegant and decent snow-white gauze dress. The trousers were relatively loose, fashionable and beautiful, which made this little beauty look noble and like a queen. The slightly wide snow-white lace trouser legs were spread open, revealing a pair of sapphire-like bright and exquisite crystal high-heeled sandals, revealing her snow-white stockings. In the thin snow-white stockings, her beautiful feet painted with black gemstone-like nail polish were faintly visible, which was extremely tempting.
When Lu Ming glanced at her, his mind became distracted and he could hardly concentrate on the file in his hand.
In fact, the day after Lu Ming spent time with Hanzhu, he called Pamela to ask her to come home, but Pamela was too busy and only came back yesterday.
Seeing that she was tired, Lu Ming didn't shamelessly go and chat with her. He felt that he was the same, as if he couldn't get carried away. Could it be that this was all on his mind
But then again, although loving Hanzhu made him feel extremely satisfied and warm psychologically, Hanzhu was physically delicate, and physiologically, he did not really enjoy himself.
Pamela is different. It seems that she can withstand it even if it happens several times.
I was chatting with Hanzhu last night, and she shyly asked me why I didn't go to Pamela's room to sleep. I said she was too tired and let her have a good rest.
Hanzhu said that her magic dew was good for Pamela's health.
I don’t know whether she is just idealistic or if this is true.
But no matter what, I really shouldn't let my mind be filled with such things. It's better to let things take their course.
As Lu Ming thought about it, he felt calmer and the original heat gradually dissipated.
"Qianxing..." Pamela had been stirring the coffee with a spoon and seemed distracted, and now she seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I told you to call me husband from now on! Let's do it again!"
"Master!" Pamela bit her red lips, "What's a husband? I should call you Master! I am your little wife!"
Lu Ming's heart trembled when the Western beauty called "Master" in a unique and gentle voice. Even if she was angry, the little charm in her voice was still different.
He chuckled and said, "Okay, let's get down to business. What difficulties have you encountered? If you want money, I'll give you money. If you want people, I'll give you people! If you want money, I'll give you less than 50 million. I don't need to ask you why. If you want people, a special agent brigade, is it enough?!"
Pamela rolled her eyes at Lu Ming, but there was tenderness in her deep blue eyes, because she knew that her man was half joking and half serious, and was not just talking nonsense.
Then, looking at Lu Ming, she said sternly, "Lawyers in the capital, are you afraid of them when you are in court? For example, a lawsuit for custody rights."
Lu Ming was slightly startled. "Custody lawsuit? Whose?"
"Are you afraid of them?" Pamela asked.
Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, "I'm definitely not afraid, but I've never fought a custody lawsuit, so it's hard to say. It depends on the specific circumstances."
Pamela's expression darkened.
Lu Ming was startled and frowned: "Is it Bisi's custody?"
Pamela hesitated for a moment and nodded gently: "Yes."
Lu Ming slowly sat up straight, "Bisi's father showed up?"
Pamela bit her lip and nodded, "Yes, I have an office with a public phone number in the business directory. I suddenly received a call from him and he transferred it to me."
Lu Ming picked up the tea and took a sip.
"He said a bunch of crazy stuff, about a family of three or something."
Pamela shook her head: "Because of Bis, I am very conflicted. I regret my ignorance back then, but because God gave me Bis, I also feel that if I had to do it again, I would still choose to have Bis..." She glanced at Lu Ming, "Don't be angry."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I understand. Don't you know me?"
Pamela gently reached out and held Lu Ming's hand. "Originally, I wanted to handle these messy things by myself and didn't want to bother you. However, I really can't handle it because he heard that my attitude was very bad, so he threatened me that if I didn't want to be with him, he would take Bisi away."
"He said that he was a wandering illegitimate child of the royal family. He didn't know it before. A few years ago, his clan members found him because his father was dying and there was no real heir. Now, he has inherited the title of prince. However, he was lynched by my father and others when he was a teenager, and his body was injured and he lost his fertility. So, he hopes that Bisi and I will return to him. Otherwise, he will not only take Bisi away, but also take revenge tenfold on those who hurt him in the past, including my father, and send them to prison."
Pamela glanced at Lu Ming and said, "According to what he said, I found a newspaper from the imperial capital a few years ago, which did have news about him inheriting the title of Duke. So, I think I really can't handle it, so I'd better tell you everything."
Lu Ming nodded. This was a great advantage of Pamela. The women who were most likely to get into trouble were those who knew they could do nothing but worried about this and that and said nothing. In the end, things could easily get into a mess.
"I'll investigate this person. Once I'm sure which lineage he belongs to and what that lineage is like, I'll see how to deal with him. Don't worry too much." Lu Ming said, holding her long, colorful gemstone-covered jade hand with his backhand, and said with a smile, "I'll take care of everything!"
The royal family is huge, and some of its branches are not necessarily important.
Pamela nodded slightly and said apologetically, "It's all my fault for causing you trouble."
Lu Ming smiled: "Why are we talking about this?" He looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Have you ever thought that maybe if you bring Bisi into the Duke's family, you may live a happy life in the future. You will be the princess, and Bisi will become the crown prince."
After a pause, he said, "Others may not know, but you and I know that there has never been anything between us."
Pamela stared at Lu Ming, her beautiful eyes blinking, "Is there really nothing between us? Then I won't call you master and husband anymore."
Being stared at by her clear blue eyes made his heart tremble again. Lu Ming coughed and said with a smile: "I tell you, if that guy is really infertile, then Bisi doesn't have to go back to him. In the future, there is still hope that Bisi can compete for the first heir. Maybe, Bisi will be a little duke in the future!"
"Who cares!" Pamela's slender hand was pinched hard by Lu Ming's long nails. Lu Ming screamed in pain and let go of her hand. Pamela rolled her eyes at him, stood up and sat on the other side of the sofa.
Lu Ming smiled, but he felt heavy in his heart. If it was a powerful branch of the royal family, he might be in big trouble.
Although the most powerful branch of the royal family is the lineage of the Grand Duke of Donghai, he can't just hug Christine's thighs when he encounters problems. What would that mean? Especially when it comes to his woman's affairs.
Of course, if an illegitimate child can inherit the title, theoretically speaking, this lineage should not be that great.
