Representing Mark Schaub exclusively

Mark Schaub

Chinabiz Speakers will be representing the Shanghai-based lawyer Mark Schaub as its first exclusive speaker. We expected this to happen down the road, as we can help our speakers to manage their engagements. But we are only one month in action and did not expect this to happen so soon.
Mark Schaub works for King&Wood, China's largest law firm and was the first foreign lawyer to join a Chinese firm, where he is now a senior partner. He recently wrote his first book
China: The Art of Law - Chronicling Deals, Disasters, Greed, Stupidity and Occasional Success in the New China. "You hear the stories about mistakes being made in China very seldom," he says, "while mistakes are often more instructive than successes and certainly more funny to talk about."

First speaker's deal done



Mark Schaub

Again a first time: we got our first deal done. It is only for a speaking opportunity in April, and of course, very soon this is going to be a daily routine. But still happy I could congratulate my colleagues on the first real deal done with one of China's most famous foreign lawyers, Mark Schaub.
