A Recap of Hurricane Tropical Storm Irene Above the Law

Please check out our daily blog, www.theasiachronicles.com ! There you will find all our ATL posts, as well as many more posts and numerous daily Asia big law news articles. This week we have another new post by Alexis Lamb, “ Mongolia And Then Some… ,” (Yes, we have made a recent US associate placement in Mongolia!) and a number of Asia big law news articles.
A good number of our placements over the last six years have been of Korean-speaking attorneys, most of whom are Korean natives who were educated in the United States after a preliminary legal education in Korea. There are very few UK-trained Korean transactional lawyers interested in practicing in Asia. [If there are any out there we don’t know yet, we hope you will get in touch.]
In the earlier years of our practice involving placement of these lawyers, we had a large contingent of junior to mid-level candidates who had little interest in Korea as a place to lateral to, although some moved to Korea to work in Korea firms, for family reasons, or because it was easier for them to land positions in Korean firms than in US or UK firms. Some of our more senior Korean US associate candidates over the years have been making strategic career moves to Korean law firms, as well as moves there for family reasons.
