A large iCourt delegation, consisting of more than 150 Chinese lawyers, most of whom are managing partners and executive committee members of Chinese law firms, visited Carter Ledyard’s offices in New York City in early October. Carter Ledyard partner Pang Zhang-Whitaker arranged the visit, and Executive Committee members Jeff Boxer, Judy Lockhart and Bryan Hall presented to the delegation on U.S. law firm structure, governance, management, and technology. As part of the visit, the delegation toured the firm’s library, where Carter Ledyard partner Tom Davis highlighted the firm’s legacy and notable colleagues. The visiting Chinese lawyers and Carter Ledyard representatives also discussed U.S.-China cross-border opportunities and future collaboration possibilities.
