刘律师在《商法》采访中作如下回答：
Q: In your prolific career, was there a case that you handled, participated in, or simply heard about that had a lasting impact on your practice or life? If so, please let us know which case it is, and why it is particularly memorable to you.
Zhen: There’s never been a shortage of drama in our line of work. The market has evolved tremendously in the last decade or so, and we’ve been through thick and thin with clients. Because of the profound trust our clients put in us, we’ve been involved to mediate boardroom fights, resolve marital trouble that endangers businesses’ health, address founders’ mental issues to prevent the worst from happening, conquer vendetta from foreign media and governmental agencies, and, to put it vaguely, maneuver through the darkest of human nature when there’s heightened economic interest on the line. Due to confidentiality obligation we owe to clients, I really can’t get into any greater detail. Suffice to say, all of those memorable and sometimes outrageous moments and episodes enable one to grow from “an attorney” to “true counsel”, and, in many ways, help shape the type of person one is.
Q: Do you have a consistent routine? Wake up at 7, go to office at 9, and a 20-minute walk after lunch? Or does life constantly take you to unexpected places at unspecified hours? How many hours in a day do you usually spend on work, personal interests, and other things?
Zhen: Everyone is a creature of his/her own routine to some extent. It gives us a sense of belonging. And within that general routine, one seeks variation and new excitement every single day. I think in our line of work, it’s genuinely hard to do an accurate calculation of the exact number of hours we spend on working, even though ironically, we charge by the hour. You may get inspiration on how to lead a team when playing games with your own child, you may find a new business opportunity when you are attending a social function. The further we go, the more improbable that we are able to entirely “divorce” ourselves from work as we go about our days. And that’s fine. It’s not a burden when work consistently interests, excites and challenges you. Now if you somehow view work as something to check off from the “must-do” list, the experience would be entirely different.
