The early 1990s is a memorable period in the reform course of China's lawyer system. New structured law firms such as cooperation and partnership have sprouted and grown in various places, and the development situation of the legal profession encourage people to ascend.
As a pioneer of reform, Ju Cunxu, who returned to Beijing from Hong Kong in 1993, was encouraged by the situation to plan to set up a partnership law firm. His fellow students in Law School of Renmin University, Jiang Junlu then worked in the Ministry of Labor, Hu Weiyi in the standing Committee of the National people's Congress, and Jiang Fajun in the people's Insurance Corporation coincided with Ju Cunxu's ideas. Full of warm blood, all four of them resolved to hit the big time. Ju Cunxu borrowed 30,000 yuan from the open-minded Judicial Bureau of Haidian District, and paid 20,000 yuan out of his own pocket to collect 50,000 yuan to start the project. He founded Beijing Qiankun Law firm in the Kowloon Business Center on Baiyi Road(now Zhongguancun Street), Haidian District.
The 1990s was a decade of overcoming the difficulties of the national economic system reform. Under the background of the macroeconomic environment in which the economic system changed from the planned economy to the market economy, it went with many opportunities for legal profession. Qian Kun got involved in a large number of typical events closely related to the reform process during the period of economic transformation:
*Reform of commercial banks in about 30 provincial capitals
*The first bankruptcy of township enterprises in the country
*The first foreign-related case of copyright infringement of computer software in China
*The new drug technology infringement case of artemisinin
*Introduction of mortgage performance insurance into the real estate industry
*Introduction of compensation insurance for lawyers’ wrong cases into the legal profession
*Design and implementation of joint-stock reform of enterprises under collective ownership by urban residents
*A large number of goodwill and trademark disputes arising from the reform of the two-track system of foreign trade
The young Qiankun has undertaken to resolve amounts of innovative legal issues. Due to diligent hard work, Qiankun lawyers won the recognitions from clients, lawyers associations and administrative authorities. Ju Cunxu and Jiang Junlu served as council member and supervisor of Beijing Lawyers Association respectively. Ju Cunxu served as a member of the standing Committee of the Haidian District Committee of the Chinese people's political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). Qiankun law fim and its lawyers have won a lot of honors: excellent law firm, advanced collective with satisfaction by people, clean and excellent units that meet the standards, top 10 outstanding young people in the political and legal system, top 10 lawyers, excellent lawyers, gold lawyers, etc. Television, newspapers and magazines made lots of coverage on the achievements of Qiankun.
In 1996, Qiankun moved into the Investment Square located at Financial Street in Xicheng District.
In the early 21st century, in order to facilitate the economic development of the Western China and narrow the economic gap between the East and the West, the state implemented the strategy of large-scale development in the western region. Qiankun lawyers believed that the legal services in the western region were relatively backward, while the high-end legal service was the deficiency of the western region, It is our duty to follow the pace of national economic construction to set up legal service institutions in the western region. In 2000, 380,000 yuan invested by Beijing Qiankun coupled with some of the funds raised by Liu Mingchun, Beijing Qiankun Urumqi Law firm was set up. The establishment of the branch office has brought high-end legal services to Xinjiang. Qiankun made contributions to Xinjiang's state-owned enterprise reform, large-scale infrastructure construction, property rights transactions, high-tech development zone construction, bond issuance and other projects. During this period, the staff scale, business scale and client scale in general office of Qiankun developed rapidly, so that Qiankun became an influential law firm.
Qiankun has provided lots of legal services for China Minmetals Group, China Nonferrous Group, Sinopec Group, China Resources Group, China General Group, Import and Export Bank of China, CITIC Trust and Investment Co., Ltd., China Orient Asset Management Corporation, Development Bank of Guangdong, China Academy of traditional Chinese Medicine, State Family Planning Commission, Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park and other state organs, enterprises and institutions.
In 2000, Qiankun moved to the east foreign diplomatic office in embassy area.
In the first decade of the 21st century, Qiankun entered a period of relatively steady development: the system was complete; the staff level was high, the vast majority of lawyers graduated from top universities and owned master's degrees or above; the business model of professional division of labor and teamwork had obvious characteristics; research ability and innovation ability were prominent; professional, steady, timely and humble service attitude were widely popular with clients. Qian Kun had strong competitive strength in the field of legal service. Qiankun lawyers won many honors further: excellent builders of socialist cause with Chinese characteristics, advanced individuals in the United Front who have made outstanding contributions to the construction of the capital, excellent lawyers, outstanding lawyers, etc. The influence of Qiankun Law News continued improving, thus frequently attracted contributions from the people outside of Qiankun. There were two compliments to legal services of Qiankun recorded in work report of the Fifth Council of the Beijing Lawyers Association. While serving as a member of the standing Committee of the Haidian District People's Congress, a member of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the deputy secretary-general of the Haidian District Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, a representative of the National Federation of Industry and Commerce, and a member of the standing Committee of the Beijing Federation of Industry and Commerce, Ju Cunxu participated more actively in political consultation work.

Atypical pneumonia harassed Beijing in 2003. The worst epidemic area in Beijing was in Haidian District. As a perennial legal adviser to Haidian District Government, it was duty-bound for Qiankun to shoulder the legal services for the government, hospitals, patients and their families. With fearless spirit, a high degree of social responsibility, Qiankun’s people provided voluntary service as long as half a year, until the end of the epidemic.
Before and after the 2008 Olympic Games, because of immigration, health, going abroad for further study and some other reasons, some of the early founders left Qiankun and the lawyer profession. A group of lawyers also left Qiankun for reasons such as changing careers, studying abroad, and so on. The entry conditions of the partners was so high that external lawyers with aspirations were blocked, and the rising of the new lawyers in the law firm was also limited. Some of the lawyers chose to set up their own law firms or joined other excellent law firms.
In the second decade of the 21st century, the main partners of Qiankun gradually felt unable to work after overworking all years round, so that the scale of Qiankun shrank sharply. In 2012, Liu Jie, a senior lawyer who had worked for many years in the field of investment and corporate legal services, was promoted to be a partner in Qiankun.
In 2011, Qiankun moved to the Seth Building in Jianguomenwai Street.
