Women’s Forum Hosts Client Networking Reception in Shanghai

On Sept. 26, Ropes & Gray’s Women’s Forum held a client networking reception in Shanghai at the Hermes Maison. Chief China life sciences advisor Katherine Wang (Shanghai) brought together a group of the foremost female in-house counsel and top executives from the life sciences industry. The guests spent a lovely evening on an interpretive tour of the Hermes Horse exhibition located within the maison. This was the first client-facing Women’s Forum event in Shanghai, and the forum is looking forward to hosting more events in the coming year.
