AABANY Dumplings & Discussion Series Features David S. Sohn

On October 15, AABANY held the 5^th installment of its Dumpling & Discussion Series. The series brings notable AAPI leaders in the legal industry, with a fireside chat in a casual, intimate setting.

We were honored to have David S. Sohn as our featured guest. David is Vice President and Assistant General Counsel at JPMorgan Chase & Co. David is also a current co-chair of AABANY’s In-House Committee, and formerly an AABANY Director and Vice-President of Programs & Operations, among other leadership positions at AABANY.

Jeffrey Mok, current co-Vice-President of Programs & Operations, hosted the discussion. David shared candid thoughts about his career journey, including his path to law school and his transition between different industries. David also shared his insights on leadership and offered tips for lawyers who are early in their careers.

Attendees enjoyed a wide selection of delicious dumplings and other Chinese food.

A lively reception followed the discussion with David, and attendees made new connections with each other over food and drinks.

AABANY Restaurant Series Dines at Cafe China

On May 12, 2022 the Membership and Bankruptcy Committees hosted a dinner at Cafe China. The acclaimed restaurant is known for its classic Sichuan favorites such as cumin lamb and tea-smoked duck. Membership Vice Chair Ashley Shan planned the family style menu, and the group had a great time discussing food, tv and career goals.

We thank Will Hao, Bankruptcy Chair, for co-hosting!

AABANY is trying to support small Asian owned businesses and restaurants through our Restaurant Series, which will be held twice a month. Our next event is at Louie’s Pizza, whose owner and his father stood up for the victim of an anti-AAPI attack. Louie and Cazim courageously came to the help of an elderly Korean woman who was being robbed and attacked in front of their store and were themselves stabbed in the process. We hope you will join us in supporting the restaurant on May 28, 1pm at Louie’s Pizza (8134 Baxter Ave, Queens). For more information and to register, please visit https://www.aabany.org/events/event_details.asp?legacy=1&id=1638502.
