Overview
Steptoe Hong Kong managing partner Wendy Wysong is featured in an article in the October issue of Asian Legal Business titled "The Hong Kong Conversation." In the Q&A-style article, the leaders of the Hong Kong offices of three law firms look back on their experiences so far this year as Hong Kong was one of the first jurisdictions globally to experience the coronavirus outbreak.
Wysong states: "Steptoe Hong Kong opened in December 2019, amidst the protests, pandemic, and political tension between the United States and China. While it seems all that would have impeded our ability to establish Steptoe's proļ¬le, in fact, everything was actually accelerated. Our clients needed immediate assistance in navigating their legal challenges, particularly, the US-China trade war and the weaponized use of economic sanctions and export controls, national security laws, tariffs and trade bans."
