AABANY Legal Careers Panel and Networking

AABANY’s Asia Practice Committee teams with NYU’s China Law Students Association and the Chinese American Lawyers Forum for a Legal Careers Panel and networking reception on Sunday, September 27, 2026, from 2:00 to 6:00 PM at Lipton Hall, NYU School of Law. The public agenda lists check-in and open networking, a two-hour panel with senior lawyers from international firms, boutiques, and financial institutions, then a reception. Tickets are listed around $20, with mooncakes and light refreshments. Re-check your Luma confirmation the morning of only if the host moves the room.

This is the early-career companion to Saturday’s Fall Conference: less CLE machinery, more path talk and introductions. Co-hosting with NYU CLSA and CALF keeps the China and broader Asian legal student graph in the room beside practicing counsel. AABANY members should email main@aabany.org for a promo code before registering so they are not paying the public rate by accident.

This is right for law students, junior associates, and career switchers aiming at Asia-facing or Asian American legal practice in New York. Skip it if you need a partner-level deal room or a pure social. Arrive with one practice-area question so the reception is not only card swaps. Greenwich Village Sunday transit is usually manageable; still leave buffer if you are coming from Fordham the day before with CLE materials in tow.

Lipton Hall sits inside NYU Law’s campus footprint, and weekend building access can feel maze-like if you have never walked it. Give yourself extra minutes from the subway to the correct entrance, and do not rely on a last-minute map pin that points to the wrong hall. If your confirmation names a different room, follow that note over any older Luma copy.

If you already spent Saturday at Fordham, this Sunday panel is the lower-cost follow-up rather than stacking another gala. RSVP on Luma, confirm Lipton Hall (or whatever hall the confirmation names) before you walk to NYU, and keep the ticket QR ready for check-in. Re-check Luma the morning of if capacity or hall notes change.
