Sandra Seah, partner at Bird & Bird, was among a select group of delegates from the American Chamber of Commerce in Singapore participating in the recent APEC Summit in San Francisco. The forum, focused on boosting trade across the Asia-Pacific region, provided an invaluable opportunity for world leaders and corporate legal professionals to discuss regional challenges and potential growth.
Seah, a Singapore-based corporate lawyer, emphasized the importance of understanding the commercial and geopolitical climate in which clients operate. “In Singapore, it’s not good enough to say ‘I’m good at lawyering,'” Seah stated. “You need to be very, very aware of the commercial context in which our clients operate—the business climate and the geopolitical climate.”
