McGill Law and the LLB/BCL bilingual program prepared me so well for an unexpected career in international corporate law in Asia by enabling me to use both Common Law (Hong Kong) and Civil Law (PRC, etc.) knowledge. Thus it is a privilege to give back to the Faculty by serving on the Advisory Board as an international representative. More so, helping law students to learn about law and business in Asia and providing them with financial support to intern in Hong Kong is my way of paying it forward for the next generation.
