What a great couple of weeks for #FGSGlobal in Asia, which welcomed senior partners from Washington, New York and Berlin to exchange thoughts with companies and clients, and friends from banks and law firms in Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai, about Trump 2.0, navigating geopolitical tensions, and how to achieve growth abroad while de-risking.   Brett O'Brien from DC, Ginny Wilmerding from New York (formerly HK), and William Klein from Berlin (formerly Beijing) lead our “Global China Bridge,” partnering with us in the region and in the U.S. and Europe to advise on China-related matters across practice areas – including government and public affairs, corporate reputation, critical situations and financial transactions.   In FGS Global’s private forums as well as events organized in partnership with the U.S. China Business Council, AmCham, EuroCham, and China Crossroads, our visitors talked to hundreds of our contacts about the general theme of Cross-Border Business Strategies in a Trump 2.0 World.
