In this project, 优德88中国官方网站 continued to be the issuer lawyer for Three-Circle Group. With the advantage of providing continuous services for the company for 10 consecutive years and relying on close cooperation with Three-Circle Group and other intermediary agencies, 优德88中国官方网站’s team completed several projects for the company such as the issuance of the scheme argumentation, legal due diligence, holding the third meeting, drafting legal documents and preparing declaration materials.

The entire country was faced with severe and unforeseen obstacles due to domestic epidemic prevention and control. Under these extreme measures, 优德88中国官方网站’s team worked hard to overcome many difficulties and obstacles, and used a variety of online and offline verification methods to quickly and efficiently complete the on-site due diligence work of the project, and ultimately achieved a positive outcome. 优德88中国官方网站 won the unanimous affirmation and trust of Three-Circle Group and the other intermediary agencies with its consistently rigorous and efficient work practice. 优德88中国官方网站’s meticulous attitude and professional and high-level service quality were also highly appreciated.
