Celebrating 30 years in Vietnam.   Our offices in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi recently hosted a reception to honor this milestone with clients, colleagues, and partners.   As one of the first international law firms to establish a presence in Vietnam in 1994, following the re-establishment of trade relations between the U.S. and Vietnam, we are proud to have one of the largest presence in the country with a team of nearly 30 lawyers and business team professionals across our Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi offices.    Office Managing Partner Gaston Fernandez said, “Vietnam remains a key market for our international clients and a gateway to ASEAN international trade. While we celebrate the past 30 years, we also look forward to the future and the potential opportunities and growth that awaits us in the next chapter of our journey here in Vietnam.”   We thank our clients, colleagues, and partners for their trust and support over the years, and we look forward to many more years of impactful work in the region.   Click right for pictures from the event.   #Collaboration #Anniversary #Vietnam #Celebrations

Sharing something I'm very proud of! With the deadline to register to vote in the UK General Election (18 June) fast approaching, Alex Sciannaca, Maddy Vincent, Yasmin Waljee OBE and I have been supporting The Politics Project's voter engagement efforts. They do hugely important work - eight million people were missing from the electoral register in the UK last year and millions more were registered inaccurately. We've put together the Voter Handbook, which, in line with the The Electoral Commission's guidance, provides a clear and simple guide to: voter registration; who can vote; the different methods of voting; and voter ID requirements. Please help distribute it widely ahead of the election. We're asking employers to share it with their staff and help increase voter registration and turnout. Evidence shows corporate voter engagement makes a meaningful impact on voter turnout. You can access the handbook here: https://lnkd.in/dnDQE2Kt. And a 2-page guide to it here: https://lnkd.in/dsv5m5Gm

The New Riskonomy – getting ahead of the game   Technology offers all businesses huge opportunities for growth. But tech risks run the gamut of hardware malfunction and human error to critical skills gaps, data privacy violations and cybersecurity attacks – risking litigation, fines and reputation loss.   According to our new report, The New Riskonomy, 91% of organizations are exposed to moderate or high levels of technology-related risk. If they come to the table under-prepared, businesses have more at stake to lose than to gain.   The New Riskonomy investigates some of the most pressing factors when it comes to tech risk, particularly in light of the recent surge in generative AI, so businesses can maximize the opportunity technology presents.   Read our report here to get ahead of the game: https://lnkd.in/egjXqDrj   #Innovation #GenerativeAI #TechRisks
