Chapter 2851: Job Responsibilities

The responsibilities and authority of the chief legal advisor depend on the company's structure; generally, the chief legal advisor belongs to the company's senior leadership, i. e., at the director level, and may even serve as senior vice president, participating in major business decisions and reporting directly to the president or chairman.

Li Ling said with a smile: "For you, the work of the chief legal advisor is absolutely effortless; the main responsibility is to correctly implement national laws and regulations, and to provide legal opinions on major business decisions of the enterprise.

Participate in the formulation, review, and implementation of important corporate rules and regulations, as well as the negotiation, drafting, and review of major corporate contracts, and provide legal advice on major matters related to the enterprise's production and operations. Participate in the enterprise's litigation, arbitration, administrative reconsideration, and hearings.

Participate in major economic activities such as corporate division, merger, bankruptcy, dissolution, investment and financing, guarantees, leasing, property transfer, bidding and tendering, and reform, restructuring, and company listing, provide legal opinions, and assist relevant departments in handling related legal matters..."

Wei Hongyan listened with increasing enthusiasm; if her work were entirely related to law, she could certainly handle it. Or rather, no one is more suitable for this job than her. Especially litigation, arbitration, administrative reconsideration, and hearings—these are absolutely her strengths.

"Of course!" Li Ling paused, then continued: "The chief legal advisor of an enterprise is a senior manager fully responsible for the enterprise's legal affairs; according to the enterprise structure, some chief legal advisors also need to serve as the enterprise's senior vice president.

Therefore, the chief legal advisor must not only be proficient in law and be a legal expert, but also possess relatively rich enterprise management experience and strong organizational coordination abilities, being a composite talent with high overall quality..."

Upon hearing that the chief legal advisor also needs relatively rich enterprise management experience, Wei Hongyan's heart began to pound.

"Director Li, regarding legal-related work, I have absolutely no problem. Especially litigation, this is my strength. But enterprise management, as I just said, I don't understand these."

"Don't rush!" Li Ling's tone remained gentle, sounding very pleasant: "You may not understand enterprise management, but organizational coordination ability—I believe you are more professional than most enterprise leaders.

So, as long as you accept Qiudongfang's invitation, you can first temporarily focus on the legal work, take charge of the legal department. Other matters can be learned while working; with your ability, I think this is not a difficult problem."

Wei Hongyan fell silent for a moment, then said: "Besides what you mentioned, are there any other responsibilities?"

"Other?" Li Ling thought about the responsibilities of the legal department of Yuyu Ge's real estate subsidiary: "That is to cooperate with the Comprehensive Management Department in carrying out legal education and publicity, and to do a good job in contract management and the protection of intellectual property rights such as enterprise trademarks, patents, and trade secrets."

Saying this, Li Ling slightly shook her head: "What I said is just a rough outline; the specifics need to be understood after you take up the position."

Wei Hongyan fell into deep thought again; this is an opportunity for her or her family, and once missed, it will not come again. But, this matter is too big—after all, who could possibly throw away their iron rice bowl on a whim?

Moreover, she is not alone; she still has family, parents, husband, and children. For such a major matter, she also needs to go back and discuss it with her family."

"Director Li!" Wei Hongyan raised her head, looking at Li Ling with a solemn expression: "I cannot give you an answer now; I need to go home and discuss it with my family."

"Of course!" Li Ling smiled slightly: "No matter the final outcome, whether you agree or not, you are the person I, Li Ling, admire most. If you don't mind, I will call you Wei Sister, and you don't need to keep calling me Director Li; you can call me Xiaoling or Li Ling."

Wei Hongyan was stunned for a moment, then immediately laughed: "Then I will be overreaching, and call you Xiaoling."

"Wei Sister!" Li Ling happily exclaimed, then took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Wei Hongyan: "This is my personal business card, not a work one, with my home address and private phone number; if you have anything later, or go shopping or drink tea, just call the number above."

Wei Hongyan was also very happy, taking the business card in her hand: "Sorry, I don't have a business card."

"It's fine!" Li Ling said: "I know your family also knows your home phone number."

"Alright!" Wei Hongyan stood up: "Then I'll leave first; I'll reply to you by tomorrow night at the latest."

"Alright!" Li Ling stood up to see Wei Hongyan out of the teahouse, then returned to settle the bill.
