What are the key responsibilities of your role?

I am Intel's competition law attorney for the Greater Asia Region and have overall responsibility for competition law related issues throughout the region. Although I am the only attorney in Asia dealing full time with such issues, I have colleagues in a number of jurisdictions who spend a greater or lesser amount of their time on them as well. This includes a very able colleague in China, but I also coordinate with my colleagues in other parts of the world, such as the US and Europe.
