Lawyer Monthly - May 2023

April has come and gone, and with it a host of exciting new developments in the legal and business spheres. One such story is detailed in our cover article of the month, as we hear from Jason Ye, Partner and Co-Chair of the Asia Practice at Ortoli Rosenstadt LLP. On page 12, he takes us through Lichen China Limited’s $16 Million IPO on the Nasdaq and how his team are working to ensure that other Chinese companies find their own success on US stock markets. Our other featured stories this month deal with very different areas of law. In an exclusive interview on page 22, we hear from Tangi Carter on DUI expungement and her career journey to date, while on page 42 Violet Dersahakian takes a deep dive into auto accidents and obtaining compensation for clients. Both are well worth a read for legal professionals of any field. Also included in this month’s magazine are a range of articles from across the breadth of the profession, from dispute resolution to asset protection. On page 28 you will also find an original feature from the Lawyer Monthly staff, wherein we examine modern corporate litigation and ask whether our culture of over-litigiousness may ultimately prove harmful to the largest companies. As ever, in this edition you will find a round-up of all the major legal news and lawyer moves that have taken place in the past month, together with a report on the M&A and IPO landscape as it currently stands – everything you need to get to grips with the latest developments in the world of law.
