NEW CASE DEVELOPMENT


We represented Hongkong City Restaurant for a hearing conducted by Taunton Board of Health as to review the alleged violation of health code. We pointed out the inspector's violation of the state employee ethic code, misrepresentations on the inspection report, and violation of the restaurant's due process right. Most recently, we filed a judicial review on behalf of Hongkong City Restaurant for the board's decision with Bristol Superior Court. Mr. Philip Pan's spearheading effort to fight for the civil right has received tremendous support from fellow Chinese restaurants in Greater Boston and Asian American Restaurant Association.

US Export Control Seminar Video and PPT Deck


On November 20, 2024, Lion's Law hosted a legal seminar on Export Control Law Must Know for Bio Industry. Attorney Matthew Bock of Bock Trade Law (https://bocktradelaw.com/matthewbock/), a Boston area lawyer specializing in international trade and export control, discussed the process of determining the export classification of a product or technology, the importance of obtaining a license to share technology and information with a Chinese counterparty, and the increasing focus on the life sciences and biotech industry in the US. One highlight, which is not known to most companies here, is that when a company's product or service falls in certain categories of export control, the company's employee who is not a US citizen or green card holder needs to go through necessary steps to comply with the Export Control Law. You can access the seminar video HERE and read the PowerPoint slide HERE
