• Networking in Mandarin
  Members and friends at the Networking in Mandarin evening held on 29 May.

Having the largest presence in Asia of any global law firm DLA Piper LLP were delighted to host the first of the Networking in Mandarin events organised by our China Interest Group for members to learn some mandarin over drinks and canapés.

Lord Clement-Jones, Co-Chairman of Global Government Relations of DLA Piper Europe & Asia and also Vice Chairman of the UK All Party Parliamentary Group welcomed the guests warmly. Attendees included several members of the Chinese Students and Scholars Association studying at University College London and other London colleges.

Lord Clement-Jones was especially pleased to meet so many young Chinese academics and he is convinced that many of these dynamic graduates will contribute greatly to China’s future development, her political infrastructure and also her economic strategies.

The event provided an excellent opportunity for members of the China Interest Group to meet future Mandarins who are keen to learn from the success of the City’s financial and professional success.
