Fraser Mendel, a shareholder at Northwest regional law firm Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt, has been named to the board of the Washington State China Relations Council (WSCRC). Established 30 years ago, the WSCRC serves as a platform for promoting stronger commercial, educational and cultural relations between the state of Washington and the People's Republic of China.
"Fraser is a dedicated member of our Seattle team and a leader in the community," said Mark Long, managing partner at Schwabe. "His new position within the China Relations Council illustrates his excellence and knowledge of legal matters related to China."
The Council represents more than 150 companies and provides trade support and information to many of Washington state's leading corporations that do business in China. The Council is recognized by the U.S. and Washington state governments, the Washington State Congressional Delegation, the business community, and the media as the premier voice in Washington state on China policy issues that affect the interests of Washington state.
Mendel co-chairs Schwabe's China practice, and focuses his practice in the areas of corporate law with special attention to international transactions. Based in Beijing, China, for 12 years, he has advised hundreds of companies doing business in China and throughout Asia. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Pomona College, a Master of Arts degree in International Studies (China) and a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Washington, and an LL.M. in Taxation from the New York University School of Law.
