Writing and Speaking Opportunity in Phuket Thailand

Dear Members and Colleagues with the Beverly Hills Bar Association:

I want to extend a personal invitation to you and your colleagues submit an abstract and hopefully  attend/present, at  the “Nolan International Symposium on Laws and their Applications for Sustainable Development.”  Matt Nolan is my partner in our Washington DC office and his practice focuses on International Trade. The Symposium is named after him. I received the award in 2019.

Consequently, I was invited to cochair the Nolan Symposium with Dr. Florian Kongoli (USA/Canada),  Dr. Yoshihisa Hayakawa (Japan) and Dr. Migen Dibra (Canada).  This is an international event and provides significant networking opportunities.  The program is from November 27 thru  December 1,  2022 in Phuket, Thailand!   It’s organizers are Dr. Florian Kongoli and the non-profit Flogen Stars Outreach program. It will be the 12th annual SIPS symposium on sustainable development held in cities around the globe.

In 2019, I was honored to have the symposium in my name alongside several past Nobel Laureates and experts in various fields. Here is the link to that event:
