Practice Philosophy

• Mr. Peng’s inter-disciplinary experience has made him focus more on commercial essence and results during practice. He takes “To develop the most commercially minded team” as his vision, and “To create superior value for the business” as team’s mission.
• In Mr. Peng’s concept, compared with good legal services, superior legal services should be equipped with the following features in addition to solid professional competence/skills:
• (1)Deep understanding of the purpose of a transaction
• (2)Considering possible scenarios/changes and planning relevant mechanism in documents
• (3)Focusing on “how to solve the problem” and “whether the plan is commercial practicable”
• During his tenure as the lawyer of Ele.me, the “pioneering” mechanism added by Mr. Peng changed the landscape of O2O industry to a great extent, on the one hand, to avoid the compulsory merger by MeiTuan, on the other hand, to provide more space and possibility for the development of Ele.me. It is the said mechanism that entitled Mark Zhang to declare in his letter, after the merger of MeiTuan and Dianping, “Dianping gives up its voting rights and board seat” (https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/hYm4XJ9dhTOpXoamEJRjDA).
