Many members of this organization were born and raised in China, Taiwan, or HongKong, received or current receiving legal education in the United States, and currently work or study in the bay area. This seminar is the first event in 2007. Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP is a leading internal law firm with offices in Beijing, Shanghai, HongKong, Taipei, and Tokyo. www.orrick.com It has some of the most experienced attorneys who have worked in China since the first international law firm opened office in China. It always seeks talented attorneys with Chinese language skills to work in its Greater China offices or in US offices on China-related matters .

Topics include:
- What is happening in law firms in China? How are the international firms faring, and what opportunities exist in the fast growing local firms.?
- In house roles: how many, how hard are they to get and what are the companies generally looking for?
- Do the employers have any preference between Chinese educated or US educated Chinese lawyers and if so how does this affect job mobility?

1000 Marsh Road
Menlo Park, CA 94025
Direction: Orrick’s 1000 building is one block from the Marsh Road Exit of 101. After taking the exit, drive west (turn left if you drive from the south, turn right if you drive from the north) and pass one traffic light, then turn left into a drive way. If you miss the drive way, you can make a left turn at the second traffic light, and turn left into the parking lot. You should see a Starbucks on your right hand side at that intersection. If you pass the Starbucks, you have gone too far. The 1000 building is the building closest to Marsh Road.
