“Getting Ready for Your Career” at Taylor’s University

Friday, March 21st, 2014

On 18th of November 2013, Eddie Law, the founder of eLawyer was invited to have a talk on “Getting Ready for Your Career” at the law faculty of Taylor’s University. Eddie was sharing with them about the career options for a law graduates and also the effective cover-letter and CV writing skills.

From the response of the students, many presumed that the only career option for a law graduate is to be a practising lawyer. Hence, the talk was to unveil the misconception and to give law students an overview of the legal career market in Malaysia.

Having a well written cover letter and CV are the essential tools for a jobseeker to secure an interview. As the resume and cover letter speaks for the jobseeker himself, every minor detail could actually create different impression. Eddie, from him real life experience shared the useful tips to write a good resume and cover letter, not only the format but the content from the view as an employer. Eddie gave step by step guidance to the participants to guide them in cover letter and CV writing skill. Besides that, he had also pointed out the common mistakes that most jobseekers made in their resume.

Establishing Effective Legal Risk Management Processes

Tuesday, May 15th, 2012

Due to increasing demand on legal function to actively support global business growth and the number of new regulation on a global as well as local level, many general counsels are faced with a challenge of how to effectively run their legal department in mitigating legal risks worldwide.

In light of this, Marcus Evans has announced that the much anticipated Corporate Legal Risk Management conference will be held in Kuala Lumpur from 5 to 6 September 2012. This conference aims at leveraging organisations’ mitigation processes and response strategies in minimising business exposure to today’s legal risks.

Martin Ekundayo, Region Legal & Compliance Director of Baker Hughes Asia Pacific who is one of the speakers for the conference stated that legal compliance should be embraced as a means to achieve sustainable long-term growth and profitability, rather than as a barrier to business.

Participant of this conference will gain industry insights on topics such accelerating the process of embedding compliance in place for businesses; Online and electronic social media platforms and its connection to legal risks; Aligning business culture and operations with regulatory requirements; Legal protection, support and structure during crisis management; Optimising approach to cross border litigation and managing the costs involved efficiently; Assessing the likely outcomes of disputes and the most suitable dispute resolution process; as well as discussing the impact of new acts in the Asian business environment.

According to Anneliese Reinhold, Board Member at Corporate Counsel Middle East and General Counsel and SVP Legal and Regulatory Affairs of du, an award winner for ‘Best In-House Counsel Telecoms/Media/IT Sector’ 2008 Dubai Corporate Counsel Group Awards, legal risk management is an extremely broad topic, but one which is of key relevance to businesses of all shapes and sizes in today’s post Global Financial Crisis operating environment.

Key presenters from the Corporate Legal Risk Management conference include Kuna Muno, Ethics and Compliance Chief APJ from Hewlett-Packard; David Blackmon, VP and Associate General Counsel – Upstream International Asia of Shell Eastern Petroleum; Martin Ekundayo, Region Legal & Compliance Director of Baker Hughes Asia Pacific; David Flavell, SVP and General Counsel AMEA of PepsiCo, Inc. and Anneliese Reinhold, Board Member at Corporate Counsel Middle East and General Counsel and SVP Legal and Regulatory Affairs of du.

Founded in 1983, the company now employs over 3500 employees operating in 35 countries around the world.

ALSA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 2012

Thursday, April 19th, 2012

The congregation of regional minds produces unexpected sparks in all aspects of life. To foster stronger relationships across borders and to grow progressively as a regional community was our ultimate goal. Such phrases would best describe the gist of what ALSA Malaysia is and the philosophical pinnacle of ALSA Conference 2012.

ALSA Malaysia, also known as Asian Law Students Association of Malaysia serve as a platform of regional law students gather and exchange intellectual thoughts and ideas which would help the association grow as a whole. The ulterior intention of the existence of such organization is also to build social network across borders in the region. To put that idea into perspective, ALSA International Conference is held annually for members all over Asia to meet at a host country and to discuss global issues of the present day.

As such, the theme for the current ALSA International Conference 2012 focuses on the issue of global sustainability. As one of the many leading global issues of the day, it is not an easy issue to be tackled with and a noble notion indeed ALSA has to have such an ambitious purview of the theme of the event.

The first 3 days of the conference centralizes tackling the issue from the academic perspective. Model United Nation, a simulator of round table talks between national representatives from members of the United Nations was conducted frequently to discuss and resolves selected issues as a whole. A mooting competition with environmental law as its theme was also conducted simultaneously in order to let universities compete on a regional scale. It is also riveting to watch this competition as all of the mooters have different points of view and certainly employed different angle of analyzing the moot question as all of them adopt a different set of culture, and thus rendering their method of presentation to be distinctively different from each other, despite the fact there are only subtle inconsistencies in terms of their thinking patterns and mentalities. All in all, the academic activities conducted throughout the conference have achieved its purpose which is to allow members of ALSA to exchange thoughts and ideas intellectually.

The remaining days of the conference exposed the participants of its lighter side as tours were arranged to various parts of the country, such as the Historical Town of Malacca, Genting Highlands and so forth. Mentally exhausted by rigorous academic activities, it is vital to have these non-academic components in place in order to tone down the formal and rigid atmosphere of the conference. As a fellow Malaysian, it is also heart-warming to see the international participants to experience the hospitality the country has to offer. It also certainly highly satisfying to acknowledge the fact that international participants appreciated every single moment they spent in the conference, especially during the farewell dinner where all participants savored their last moments in the conference together in a massive exchange of contacts, photography sessions and sing-alongs.

On a final note, ALSA International Conference 2012 has worked wonders in translating its motto into an unforgettable gathering experience, which is “ALSA Always be One”. Special thanks to all of the event’s sponsors:
