How can fighting corruption contribute to economic growth in Africa? What legal problems do firms run into when investing in Africa’s booming economies, and what can be changed?
Emily Strauss, Special Counsel, Lawyers Without Borders, will address these and other questions of development.
Emily Strauss is originally from Boulder, Colorado, and studied both English literature and economics at the College of William and Mary. She then joined the Peace Corps, and served as an education volunteer in northern Cameroon for two years. She subsequently worked in a law firm, and then left to teach for a year in Changsha, China. She received her J.D. and M.A. in International Relations from Boston University, and accepted a position with Ropes & Gray. She is currently doing a yearlong fellowship with Lawyers Without Borders before beginning work at the firm.
