Edward Lehman, Managing Director of top three Chinese law firm, Lehman, Lee & Xu has been invited to speak at the Asia Pacific 2010 Conference, to be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on April 28, and 29 2010. The event will be looking at the current issues affecting the oil and gas industry within the Asia-Pacific region.
Others who have been invited to speak at the conference include international law firm’s Latham & Watkins and Baker & Mckenzie, and large multinational corporations, such as Shell.
From having numerous years of experience offering legal advice within this industry, Mr Lehman was more than happy to accept the invitation to speak at the Asia Pacific 2010 Conference, “China’s surge in economic growth has seen a hike in demand for oil. The country exhausted more than 5.1 % more oil in 2008, than it did in 2007. More recent figures from China National Petroleum Corp expect crude oil imports to go up to 9.1 % in 2010” He continues by adding that “the Tenth Five-Year Plan of Oil & Gas Exploration (2001 – 2005) was one of the first steps taken to reorganise the once restrictive industry in China.”
