Alice Young, Trailblazing Lawyer and Advocate for Equality

We are pleased to invite you to attend the eighth Committee of 100 Conversations – “Recollections, Pioneers and Heroes” event that will feature Alice Young, Trailblazing Lawyer and Advocate for Equality, whose career has been defined by groundbreaking achievements in law, advocacy for diversity, and dedicated community service.
Alice served as Partner and Chair of the Asia Practice at leading law firms including Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer and Milbank Tweed, specializing in corporate law, international transactions, and Asia business partnerships. As a member of the first graduating class of women of Yale College and one of the first Asian American women to graduate from Harvard Law School, she broke barriers on Wall Street and paved the way for women and minorities throughout her 40+ year law career. Beyond her legal work, Alice has been a tireless advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion.
She was one of the first lawyers to advise on projects in China after its opening to international business in the late 1970s and was the first woman, minority and youngest lawyer to open an international law firm branch office in New York City. She served as an Independent Board Director for AXIS International Capital Holdings, Ltd. (NYSE-listed public company) and Mizuho Trust and Banking Co. (USA), was Chair of the Deloitte Diversity External Advisory Board, and after her retirement founded Alice Young Advisory LLC.
Beyond her legal work, Alice has been a tireless advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion. She has mentored countless students and young lawyers, particularly women and minorities, and is active in organizations promoting education, social justice, and civic engagement. She is a Life Member of the Committee of 100 and the Council on Foreign Relations, a Fellow of Yale University, a Trustee of The Aspen Institute and The Asia Foundation and Senior Advisor to AAPI New Jersey.
Her many honors include the Sandra Day O’Connor DirectWomen Distinguished Alumnae Award, the AALDEF Justice in Action Award, the Boy Scouts of America (NY Councils) Distinguished Woman of the Year Award, the Chambers Women in Law Outstanding Achievement Award, the Womankind Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Yale Medal.
Chinese Americans have contributed greatly to advance the success of this country in many walks of life – science, the arts, agriculture, philanthropy, political leadership, architecture, business, and more.
