weil gotshal even more active in hong kong

Published by Thomas Chow under China, Economy

Just saw this article in Legal Week about Weil Gotshal poaching 2 corporate partners in Hong Kong. Seems like the perfect time to pick up some more partner level attorneys: when the economy is down, but supposedly getting better. Article after the jump.

For all of you who weren’t able to attend the Give2Asia call about disaster response in the Philippines earlier this week, Give2Asia actually released a transcript of the conference call that I thought might be of interest. You can download a copy of it here. Enjoy!

updated twitter feed username

Published by Thomas Chow under Personal

Some quick updates for everyone. First, I decided to update my twitter account username. Chinaesq is shorter, but since my China Blog is China Esquire, I decided to go with the full name. Please let me know if you think its a bummer idea.

http://twitter.com/ChinaEsq

Please update accordingly.  Hopefully those following will get it updated automatically.  Second, I will be using twitter a lot more actively since I can still give my thoughts on a wider variety of matters than putting full posts together.  So if you follow the blog, I encourage you to follow the twitter too!

UPDATE: I am changing back to chinaesq based on initial feedback. Good call, Dan.

the need for a moral compass

update: finally on twitter

Published by Thomas Chow under Personal

Yes, I bit the bullet.  I resisted the Twitter thing for a long time, but for a few reasons, I decided to give in and try it out.  I don’t know if I will stick to it, and I have no plans to let everyone know the microfine details of my life, but it’s fun enough to play with for now.  My Twitter feed is located at:

http://twitter.com/chinaesq

Feel free to subscribe!  You might see more there than on this blog.  Raising a child is hard work and I don’t know how some bloggers can nurture their families AND their blogs.
