As President of Harsco Metals in Asia Pacific I worked closely with Richard as General Counsel for MEAP , throughout Asia and Australasia. His input and management of all legal work on critical projects for the Company in China and India and Australia was exemplary and helped lead to the successful implementation of ground breaking technology Joint Ventures in China particularly, where the protection of US intellectual property was paramount to managing the risk. Richard is a very experienced international lawyer and I recommend him without hesitation.
