About

China CITIC Bank is a full-service commercial bank that offers a broad spectrum of financial services including wealth management, personal banking, wholesale banking as well as global markets and treasury solutions. With aspirations of being “China’s Bank of Choice,” the financial services company chose Wen Jianxiu to head its legal affairs, a choice which has proven highly fruitful. Jianxiu has been responsible for implementing a plethora of innovative and risk-minimising systems at CITIC such as a database which standardises contracts and legal review guidelines. The on-site legal training of branches and other business areas that she implemented has been a particular success and hallmark of her outstanding tenure so far. However, by achieving an almost near perfect win-rate in lawsuits after implementing a company-wide system for the handling of litigation, Jianxiu has gained significant recognition both internally and from the in-house legal community. Her impressive results have led to her speaking at conferences on the wealth management business of banks at the Beijing Arbitration Conference.
