H & H Lawyers' Leadership Recognised at the IPBA Annual Conference in Chicago

A group of delegates from our firm, namely, James Jung, Tin-Lok Shea, John Kim, and MARTIN POLAINE, FCIArb FAIADR, recently attended the Inter-Pacific Bar Association (IPBA) Annual Conference in Chicago. The IPBA community has always been a collegiate and engaged group, and this year was no exception – the conference was a great opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, exchange ideas, and build new connections across jurisdictions. The energy of the host city was on full display, from incisive keynote speeches and thoughtful panel discussions to a standout welcome reception at Wrigley Field, where the Cubs edged out the Dodgers (much to the disappointment of many Shohei Ohtani fans in attendance). We are proud to share that James Jung was announced as the Vice-President of the IPBA, with the 2027 conference planned to be hosted in Sydney (where he will officially become President). This is an enormous achievement culminating from years of dedication and contribution to the IPBA, and reflects James’ esteemed position within the IPBA community built upon the deep professional ties and friendships he has cultivated with colleagues from across the Asia-Pacific region. Tin-Lok Shea was also appointed as the IPBA Jurisdictional Council Member (JCM) for Australia, a senior leadership position representing the IPBA within the allocated jurisdiction. This is well deserved by Tin-Lok and his nomination was hugely supported by the IPBA Officers at the recent Council Meeting in Chicago. A huge congratulation to both James and Tin-Lok, who are looking forward to contributing to the IPBA’s mission of supporting legal development and collaboration of lawyers across the Asia-Pacific.
