Co-sponsored by the law firm Freeborn & Peters LLP and the accounting, tax and business advisory firm Grant Thornton LLP, the October 25th, 2005 event included prominent international attorneys, tax experts and industry professionals as speakers, panelists and special guests. The seminar focused on helping companies identify and take advantage of business opportunities in China, prepare United States-based companies for investment by foreign parties, and launch China-based businesses in the U.S.

Mr. Kinsella's presentation, entitled "Looking at Your Business Through Chinese Eyes," encouraged attendees to undertake a reanalysis of business opportunities from the perspective of Chinese investors, senior corporate leadership, and government and economic officials. Mr. Kinsella highlighted the key differences in how Chinese business leaders and their American counterparts value enterprises, assess the costs and benefits of a strong brand identity, and rate the importance of technology and know-how, among other critical issues. To illustrate his points, Mr. Kinsella also offered several detailed case studies of trans-Pacific business acquisitions and investment transactions.
