Please join us on Monday, June 15 from Noon to 1:15 p.m. for a discussion on doing business with the State of Hawaii and the City and County of Honolulu, led by Julie China, Hawaii State Deputy Attorney General and Donna Leong, Corporation Counsel for the City and County of Honolulu.

Hear from attorneys who represent State and County departments or agencies that are frequently involved in granting approvals to or entering into agreements with businesses about:  (i) how negotiating a contract with the State may differ from negotiating with private parties, (ii) special issues or considerations unique to doing business with the State or County, and (iii) how you can put your client in the best position when requesting approvals from the State or County or entering agreements with State and County departments and agencies.

• Donna Leong is Corporation Counsel for the City and County of Honolulu.  She was previously Senior Vice President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary at Outrigger Enterprises and a partner in the Finance and Real Estate Department at Cades Schutte.

Invite a friend or colleague - the more, the merrier!  Please register online  no later than Friday, June 12 to let us know you are coming.
