Regional collaboration and interconnectivity in a shifting geopolitical landscape

In a time of voluminous geopolitical and sociocultural change, there are myriad opportunities for legal practitioners to work across borders in the Asia-Pacific region, furthering their clients' interests and bolstering their vocational capabilities. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with the president-elect of the Inter-Pacific Bar Association (IPBA), James Jung, about his career, what motivates him to serve in extracurricular roles, why new thinking and a new approach is needed to work across borders in the current climate, challenges that lawyers face in these times, and why it will be a priority for him as president of the IPBA. Jung also delves into how his own journey is demonstrative of inter-regional collaboration, the dangers of isolationist approaches and the role of lawyers in pushing back, what it looks like for lawyers to be more connected across borders, the opportunities to be grasped, and practical steps to be taken.
