打造最幸福的中国律师事务所：申同的愿景、使命与价值观 (Building the Happiest Chinese Law Firm: Vision, Mission, and Values of Shentong Simplified Chinese version)

2026年1月，申同律师事务所（以下简称“申同”）创始人兼管理合伙人杨林兵坐在上海总部，回顾律所快速扩张至200名法律专业人员的发展历程。申同的成功源于一套极具创新性的愿景、使命与价值观（VMV）体系，其核心是员工幸福。然而，近期成立的洛杉矶分所标志着申同迈出了全球拓展的第一步，同时也带来了一个关键的战略难题。杨林兵必须作出选择：申同根植于集体主义、以幸福为导向的VMV体系，究竟应当完整复制到高度个人主义的美国法律服务市场，按照美国行业规范进行全面本土化，还是通过复杂的混合模式加以调整，以实现跨国协同。

In January 2026, Linbing Yang, founder and managing partner of Shentong Law Firm (Shentong), sat in his Shanghai headquarters reflecting on the firm’s exponential growth to 200 legal professionals. This success was driven by a highly unconventional Vision, Mission, and Values (VMV) framework anchored in the concept of employee happiness. However, the recent inauguration of a Los Angeles branch—marking the firm’s first step toward a global network—posed a critical strategic dilemma. Yang had to decide whether Shentong’s deeply collectivist, happiness-driven VMV framework could be successfully replicated in the highly individualistic American legal market, completely localized to fit United States industry norms, or adapted into a complex hybrid model to achieve multinational synergy.
