Book Of Business: Meet A Milbank Tweed Partner

Learn about the rewards and challenges of building and maintaining a major international corporate practice.

In last week’s episode of Book of Business, veteran legal recruiter Robert Kinney and I interviewed a top European dealmaker. In this week’s episode, we interview another prominent corporate lawyer, but from the other side of the globe.

Since 2000, James Grandolfo of Milbank Tweed has been working out of Hong Kong, advising clients across all of Asia. On the podcast, Jim spoke with us about how he first came to work in Asia, the strengths and weaknesses of the Asian legal market(s), and how he built one of the region’s preeminent practices.
