BEIJING – Attorneys from Lehman, Lee & Xu have presented to students from the China School of Business & Law. Attorney Andrew Lillis and Summer Associates Robert Hart, Eric Langland, Richard Fleming, Jackson Moller and Sam Engutsamy lectured on a wide variety of relevant topics on Chinese law from Criminal law to China’s role in the World Trade Organization. “China School of Business & Law is a terrific program offering high caliber students from a plethora of countries a chance to experience the dynamism of doing business in China”, states Edward Lehman, managing director of the firm.
The program which is based in Shanghai gives students the change to experience Chinese law and culture. “Many of the students in attendance are exploring the potential opportunities a career in the field of Chinese law or business presents” relays Lehman, “it’s an honor for us to participate in the program and give the students an overview of doing business here”.
A key aspect of the lectures was to give the students an overview of the Chinese legal system from a practical perspective. “The practical aspects are really the most important. There is only so much that can be learned in an academic seetting. It is our hope that giving an insight into the way we practice law will provide the students with an added dimension”, states Lehman.
Programs such as the CBL summer program were virtually unheard of even several years ago however there are now a number of such programs where students from a number of countries come to China to experience first hand the explosive economic growth and meet key people from the fields of business and law.
