Featured Contributor of the Month: Q&A with Alice Hsu

Jan 17, 2014

Reading Time : 1 min

Q: What are you working on that you never expected to be?

A: I never anticipated I would be a featured contributor on my law firm’s blog.  When I started practicing, law firm websites were much plainer and not as sophisticated as they are now.  Most of my blog posts have centered on emerging legal issues as applied to or concerning the use of social media. As we grow accustomed to using all these newly-developed ways of communicating with each other, it will become clear or less clear whether current laws are adequate or need to be changed to address the shifting landscape. As the co-head of our social media task force, I work with my colleagues in different practice areas and offices to advise clients on these issues as well as publish content for this blog and our firm website.

Q: What do you like to do in your free time?

A: Last October, I completed my first Tough Mudder in New Jersey with teammates from the New York corporate practice. It required some boot-camp and cardio training during the summer as well as some smart day-of fashion choices. Our team captain, a three-time Tough Mudder veteran, Trey Muldrow, made sure we got through the obstacle course together safely as a team which is why we all had our 1.5 seconds of fame. Can you spot me in the video?
