White Jun Law Firm

Biodata

Power Progression

History

Early Practice

White Jun initially had a poor litigation record. Nandu Bank’s legal department described Su Bai as having handled five lawsuits in five years, losing four. His sole victory protected a client’s marital assets but ended with that client imprisoned for bigamy. The former client later posted more than a hundred hostile comments online, creating concerns for prospective clients researching the firm 5 72.

The Nandu Bank and marriage-fraud cases established White Jun’s name in Southern Capital. After the latter case, other firms approached Su Bai about joining them, but he declined because he preferred running his own practice and retaining its fees 33.

Recruitment and Commercial Growth

Nanyou Studio initially hesitated to entrust its Penguin appeal to such a small firm. Lin Quan and Meng Xiaofan nevertheless retained White Jun for the 800,000-yuan case. Its subsequent victory brought stronger case leads, while higher compensation helped attract more capable lawyer applicants 74 85 87.

Expansion did not immediately solve every weakness. White Jun still received relatively few major commercial and financial matters, and its reputation depended heavily on Su Bai. He judged that, without him, it would have been a reasonably sized mid-tier firm 99 176.

Smear Campaign and Litigation

Success Lawyer Firm attempted to build its profile by disparaging White Jun through media outlets. Negative coverage accused White Jun of neglecting clients, prioritizing performance, and causing an unfavorable second-instance change in a criminal case. Su Bai and the firm sued Success Lawyer Firm and the outlets involved 398 400 401.

During the hearing, Li Ming admitted unfair competition and accepted the evidence as authentic, but argued that the media had amplified the damage. Su Bai countered that the firm had deliberately encouraged the campaign and failed to stop it; the disputed posts and videos had accumulated tens of millions of views and shares 403 404.

After Red Circle Selection

Six months after its selection, White Jun had become a sought-after firm across the provinces surrounding Southern Capital. Smaller firms referred difficult cases to it, and its established reputation no longer required Su Bai to continually pursue high-profile litigation 527.

During that period, Su Bai concentrated on mentoring lawyers rather than personally handling cases. Difficult matters passed to Xu Xiang, who continued developing through consultation with him 527.

Organization

Offices

Personnel

• Su Bai — Founder and head, with final decision-making authority. Initially handled the most difficult cases himself; later shifted toward mentoring the firm’s lawyers 176 504 527.
• Li Xuezhen — Began as Su Bai’s trainee assistant and handled recruitment, publicity, and case screening. After qualifying as a lawyer, she became a partner while retaining her assistant duties 98 126 227 257.
• Xu Xiang — Developed his criminal practice under Su Bai, became head of the criminal department, and was assigned to lead the Shendu branch 108 379 504.

• Wang Kangjie — Joined in the same recruitment round as Wang Kexin and was assigned to Duan Liang 98.

Hiring Wang Kexin and Wang Kangjie brought the legal staff to six. That recruitment round advertised trainee compensation of 4,000–10,000 yuan, an attractive range compared with many local small and medium-sized firms 98.

Practice and Client Policies

Case Intake

• Cases were first divided into civil and criminal matters, then assessed by individual lawyers. Difficult matters were escalated to Su Bai 176.
• Online inquiries required identity verification and supporting documents, such as photographs of judgments, before further investigation 127.
• Su Bai required clients to report events accurately, without exaggeration or taking statements out of context 108.
• Judgments alone were not treated as sufficient to assess suspected wrongful convictions; original evidence and case files also had to be examined 127 304.

Professional Standards

• Responsibility after acceptance: Su Bai regarded taking responsibility for an accepted client as his professional bottom line 164.
• No guaranteed victory: When accepting Jordan’s trademark dispute, he explicitly told the representative that he could not guarantee a win 418.
• Selective commissions: Once financially secure, the firm could choose its cases. Su Bai declined some proposed defenses involving wealthy or privileged suspects after reviewing their circumstances 178 391.
• Access regardless of means: Inability to afford litigation did not automatically disqualify a client 347.
• Annual pro bono requirement: Every lawyer had to undertake a certain number of pro bono cases each year. The firm covered the associated fees and expenses rather than requiring lawyers to bear all costs themselves 504.

Notable Cases

White Jun supplied four of the ten most influential cases in that evaluation: the Qi Feng case, Laihai Bank case, a wrongful-conviction case, and a fallen-elderly case 526.

Publicity and Reputation

Short-Video Outreach

• Su Bai repeatedly used courthouse interviews to advertise White Jun. Before Qi Feng’s hearing, he specifically asked reporters to include the firm’s name, having received little institutional publicity from the Nandu Bank victory 6 41.
• Li Xuezhen managed the firm’s short-video account, publishing case analyses and explanations of criminal charges. Luo Daxiang’s promotion brought its initial following above ten thousand; it subsequently reached roughly thirty thousand 126 136.
• The firm’s account and Su Bai’s personal account later attracted millions of followers 265.
• By a later stage, the firm’s account had three million followers, and a special or major case video could receive over ten million views, excluding reposts and other platforms 465.
• Su Bai favored scheduled legal-education videos over livestreaming 278.

Professional Standing

• White Jun became known for difficult criminal litigation and cases exposing misconduct by legal and administrative personnel. Opposing lawyers and court staff often recognized either the firm or Su Bai by reputation 120 135 316.
• By its mature stage, people familiar with the firm recommended it for criminal cases other lawyers might not resolve. Its willingness to represent people unable to afford litigation also strengthened its standing 347.
• Nandu University of Law students increasingly treated White Jun as a preferred internship destination. By the major branch-expansion stage, many outstanding graduates ranked it above other leading Red Circle firms 175 504.

External Relationships

• Haifang Law Firm — Cooperating firm with a stronger civil-practice focus. Its relationship with White Jun contributed to White Jun’s regional standing 135 139.
• Xiao Haibo — Professional contact who recommended Fang Yuan, introduced Su Bai to senior lawyers, and supported the firm’s development 135 152 526.
• Luo Daxiang — Legal commentator who considered White Jun for difficult referrals and promoted its short-video account 34 126.
• Nanyou Studio — Commercial client whose Penguin appeal became an important early business relationship 74 99.
• Changfeng Law Firm — A Northern Capital partner deliberately steered a difficult case toward the newly opened branch, hoping to undermine it. Su Bai’s resolution instead helped the branch establish itself 290 302.
• Success Lawyer Firm — Rival sued over an admitted unfair-competition campaign targeting White Jun’s reputation 400 403.
