Just wanted to wish all of my readers a Happy New Year / Spring Festival 2010! (which brings us to the year of the tiger in our Chinese zodiac)
It’s been a crazy year so far and I’ve been overwhelmed with some interesting stuff at work: some cross-border M&A, foreign entity tax registrations, intellectual [...]
Well, looks like Li Zhuang got 1 and 1/2 years after his appeal. (see my original post about defense lawyer tactics
here) I suppose that’s better than 2 and 1/2 years, but I am still left wondering why in the world he even got a prison sentence. (again, see my original post)
An [...]
Yes, it’s that time of the year again. TechSoup Global (“TSG”), where I work, is actually looking to add a couple of Staff Attorney Fellows this year. Above the Law and other news outlets have been covering the news for 2010 law school graduates, and it looks a lot like 2009: deferred start dates [...]
I wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year in 2010! May this year prove to be exciting and joyful for all of you. (especially for my regular readers!)
And here’s to hoping that readership at China Esquire: Law and Business Blog will continue to grow in the coming year. I want to [...]
Looks like Xinhua published its defense of the execution of a British mentally ill man
in an article entitled “Experts defend China’s execution of British drug smuggler”. I’m actually glad they did–it makes it a lot easier to dissect. And for the poor professors (Mingliang Wang and Jinzhan Xue), I’m sorry, you lose [...]
CNN just published an
article, “China executes British citizen for drug smuggling”. I normally don’t try to weigh in and blatantly criticize the Chinese justice system despite certain corrupt documented incidents and obvious issues because it’s been improving over the years, and I have been hopeful that the rule of law has a chance [...]
Yes, a little late, but I just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas. (Sheng Dan Kuai Le)
We just got back from Macau/Hong Kong a few days ago and remain very badly jetlagged. Baby China Esquire still doesn’t want to sleep at a bedtime in any U.S. timezone, making our [...]
Apparently, there is a crackdown on corrupt officials and organized crime in Chongqing. Others caught up in the sting? Defense lawyers. It’s like the tuna nets that end up picking up a few dolphins along the way. The only problem is this: the defense lawyer here is just doing his job. [...]
Was reading China Law Blog’s treatment of Chinese branding and trademarks
here where Dan Harris takes issue with a Newsweek
article, which states in part:
The simplest explanation for China’s failure to build global brands is cutthroat domestic competition. In most product categories, hundreds or thousands of firms compete for domestic market share, leaving profit margins [...]
I just wanted to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving 2009! I can’t believe that the time has flown by already and that the holiday season is already upon us in the U.S. I look forward to 2010, hopefully with more active posting and interesting tidbits about China, business, law, and [...]
Just saw this
article in Legal Week about Weil Gotshal poaching 2 corporate partners in Hong Kong. Seems like the perfect time to pick up some more partner level attorneys: when the economy is down, but supposedly getting better. Article after the jump.
Weil Gotshal & Manges has boosted its Asia practice with a [...]
For all of you who weren’t able to attend the Give2Asia call about disaster response in the Philippines earlier this week, Give2Asia actually released a transcript of the conference call that I thought might be of interest. You can download a copy of it
here. Enjoy!
