Testimonials:
"It is an honour and a pleasure for me to be counted as a member of the MPC. I especially enjoy networking with peer managing partners from various major centres of international law - from Beijing to Dubai, and many cities in between.”
Dang The Duc, Managing Partner, Indochine Counsel (Vietnam)
"I am delighted to count myself a member of the Managing Partners’ Club. The MPC is a trusted and secure environment for senior partners to not only share with but most important of all – to LISTEN to their peers in a secure environment. People at the top are lonely, they too need guidance, direction and experience sharing- who better than the peers? A secure sharing and debating platform utilizing the latest in knowledge-sharing techniques for senior private practice lawyers did not previously exist for Asia and Middle East- based senior private practice lawyers and so I was delighted to join the MPC when it first launched in Q1 2021 and have joined all the scheduled calls this year. It has become a close knit circle of friends too who we can call without hesitation.. I am looking forward avidly to our continued discussions in 2022!"
