HuanDong Gao, SVP and general counsel of Walmart eCommerce & Yihaodian, shares insight into the JD.com deal, MOFCOM remedies, Shanghai FTZ establishment, and China's ever-evolving online marketplace. 沃尔玛电子商务与一号店高级副总裁及总法律顾问高唤栋分享对京东网站交易、商务部补救措施、上海自贸区建设和中国不断变化的网上市场的见解。

What makes Yihaodian's legal team special?

We have 10 people on our legal team, seven of whom are counsels. We divide the work based on company strategy, so that each counsel supports one or two business functions, regardless of whether the daily duties involve contract review, litigation, project management or M&A. This is in contrast to most in-house legal teams, which designate work based on specialty, such as dispute resolution or transactional.

I believe our method allows our team members to be more well-rounded. And since we're part of a small team, taking a generalist and comprehensive approach helps ensure long-term career development.
