About 90 representatives of companies and associations in construction, chemical, petrochemical, trade, electronics, steelmaking and manufacturing industries attended the seminar held in the Korea Chamber of Commerce & Industry under the auspices of Shin & Kim. 

The presentation was given by Mr. Duane Layton, the Global Head of Mayer Brown’s International Trade Group.  The Q&A session that followed the presentation was flooded with questions on the Trump Administration’s future trade policy.  Even after the 40 minute-long Q&A session, Mr. Layton continued answering more questions from curious attendees in private conversations.

An attendee from a manufacturing industry commented, “We have access to only limited information in Korea, and this seminar was a great opportunity to obtain information on the Trump Administration’s policies and background directly from a US lawyer specialized in trade. I could feel the atmosphere of the US and get an insight to forecast the Trump Administration’s future trade policy.”
