Dorsey adds former U.S. Ambassador to China Gary Locke in Seattle

U.S. law firm Dorsey & Whitney has welcomed Gary Locke as a senior advisor in its Seattle office. Locke is the former U.S. Ambassador to China from 2011 to 2014, a Secretary of Commerce under President Obama, and Governor of the State of Washington.

Locke currently heads the Committee of 100, a leading organization for Chinese Americans. He will focus on Dorsey’s international practice in the future.

Locke was the first Chinese American serving as the U.S. Ambassador to China. He promoted bilateral cooperation and understanding between the two countries during his tenure.

Bill Stoeri, Dorsey’s Managing Partner, says: “Gary’s experience in promoting American exports and foreign direct investment is particularly important in the current economic landscape. His comprehensive understanding of federal and state governance as well as international relationships and commerce will also provide invaluable guidance to clients seeking to navigate regional nuances.”

“His keen insight into foreign investment, international trade, export controls, government relations, and cross-cultural diplomacy uniquely positions him to assist clients in achieving their business goals in the global marketplace.”

Locke received his Juris Doctor from Boston University School of Law back in 1975.
