On Tuesday, August 26, 2025, AABANY’s Dumpling & Discussion series hosted Christopher Y. Chan, General Counsel at JLL Technologies, for a night of candid conversation and dumplings. The discussion was held at Fish & Richardson’s office in Times Square and moderated by AABANY Board Director Jeffrey Mok.
Over the course of the evening, Chris shared with us his fascinating legal career that has spanned the U.S. and Southeast Asia. Risk-taking, stereotype-breaking, and finding happiness were some of the key topics of discussion as Chris recounted how his journey to his current position as Global General Counsel for JLL Technologies. Chris also shared his thoughts on the future of the legal industry. During the Q&A session, Chris addressed questions from an avid audience about the importance of building strong communities and relationships and aspiring for success on your own terms.
In a lively networking reception afterwards, attendees enjoyed drinks along with plates of dumplings, siu mai and Singaporean mei fun.
We are deeply grateful to Chris for his generosity in sharing his experiences and insights.
