Vantage Asia, the publisher of China Business Law Journal, is hosting the CBLJ Forum 2019 at the JW Marriott Hotel, Beijing, on 3 April 2019 with the theme “Seizing business opportunities and managing legal risks”.
With an anticipated turnout of 300-400 attendees, the one-day forum has a packed programme consisting of four morning and seven afternoon sessions. The keynote speaker is Qin Shuo, the founder of the Commercial Civilization Research Center of China and “Chin@ Moments”, a new media which covers economics, finance and business. He was previously vice-president of Shanghai Media Group, and founder and chief editor of First Financial Daily.
All sessions will be attended by top-tier general counsel from major companies and financial institutions, senior academics within the legal sphere and other legal professionals. Exclusive media partners for the event are Sina Finance and Sina Fawen.
The publisher of China Business Law Journal, Kelley Fong, said the conference would meet unfulfilled demand for information-sharing in the legal market. “The unprecedented complexity of doing business in China, compounded by the legal and geopolitical challenges facing companies overseas, has heightened the importance of strong legal compliance,” said Fong.
“We see the need for high-end discussions and knowledge-sharing between senior executives of Chinese and international companies. CBLJ Forum 2019 addresses this by bringing together on stage general counsel, academics and partners of leading law firms to provide multiple perspectives on the most critical compliance issues.”

- Corporate compliance management: Executive responsibility, securities compliance, anti-corruption, responding to government investigations – hosted by Zhong Lun Law Firm;
