Y-ADR Corporate Counsel Interview #5: Kelly Xing

CPR’s new Y-ADR Interview Series returns with another discussion on in-house work, law practice development, and careers in dispute prevention and resolution.

This week, Y-ADR Steering Committee member Elizabeth Chan, an associate in the London office of Three Crowns, discusses conflict resolution with Kelly Xing, Legal Counsel at General Motors Co. in the Jing’an District, in Shanghai, China.

Kelly discusses her career path and conflict resolution experience, including how she approaches the drafting of dispute resolution clauses, and how the company uses a multi-tiered approach to dispute resolution that focuses on resolving disputes at management level.

She also talks about the business, discussing in detail the GM joint ventures she works on.

Lizzie Chan’s interview is her fifth in the CPR Y-ADR Interview series. The previous interview, with Mathias Goh, can be viewed on CPR Speaks here. Previously, Lizzie spoke with Timothy Shore on working as an ombudsman, which can be viewed on CPR Speaks here. The second interview in the series, with CPR Y-ADR co-chair Jason Klingensmith, Assistant General Counsel, at General Motors Co. in Detroit, is available on CPR Speaks here.
