Indeed, but I think booth did not only mix up the posters...he simply has no clue ;-)
I owe everyone a belated thank you for taking the time to post in this thread and offer me advice.
The problem with smaller firms is that they don't offer a career path to Asia. Or at least I'm not aware of how a transfer to Asia would work. I'd rather not be a lawyer, if being a lawyer meant that I would be stuck in the states forever. These firms also have practice areas that are mostly litigation-focused. I never intended to be a trial lawyer - don't believe I have the temperament or interest.
Now that I've gotten that bar exam business out of the way and need to get the job search fired up, I thought I'd revive it...any comments are welcome!
What about compliance? Some of these jobs seem to be JD preferred but not required - are there jobs like this in Hong Kong or elsewhere in Greater China?
I am working at an international law firm here and the boyfriend is trying to come as well.
He is California-qualified lawyer who is currently working as a contract attorney for Genentech. He is looking to move to Hong Kong and is ready to start work as soon as possible. His interests are in-house corporate transactional but would probably be interested in compliance as well. He's only 1.5 years PQE though...which may be a problem.
Thanks for any tips/advice!!
