Dear ULS members,
Please check the following details of the Law Conference 2013 held by The London School of Economics and Political Science Students’ Union Asia Careers Society (LSESU ACS):
Law Conference 2013 - The Interplay of Checks and Opportunities in the East.
Facebook Events Page - https://www.facebook.com/events/472827482836790/?notif_t=plan_user_joined
Date - 21 Dec 2013 (Saturday)
Time - 10:00-18:00 (Lunch provided on-site)
Venue - Large Moot Court, 2/F, Cheng Yu Tung Tower, Centennial Campus, HKU
This year, our theme is ‘The Interplay of Checks & Opportunities in the East’. While the Conference explores opportunities in the mainland and the fast-growing Southeast-Asian markets, it engages with the theme underpinning recent developments in the commercial world - Checks and Regulations. The enactment of the Hong Kong Competition Ordinance, the stringent Post-Financial-crisis regulations on IPOs, and the active policing of commercial crimes will be evaluated from the perspectives of some of the most eminent in each field.
The interaction between checks and opportunities is at the heart of concern of current and future lawyers, and anyone keen to brush up his commercial awareness.
The Law Conference 2013 provides a platform for interaction. You will enjoy the chance to network with Graduate Recruitment Partners and Human Resources Managers during the lunch and the refreshment breaks.
We will see you there!
