Jenny (Shiyu) Liang to Speak at 2026 NAPABA Convention

Taft Washington, D.C. associate Jenny (Shiyu) Liang will speak at the 2026 National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA) Convention, held Nov. 12–14 in Los Angeles. On Thursday, Nov. 12, from 2:45 to 4 p.m. PT, Liang will join the International Law Symposium panel “Trump 2.0 Effect on Trade and Travel – Is It Legal?”

The panel brings together lawyers from government, industry, and law firms to look at the legal basis for the Trump Administration’s main second-term policies and how those policies affect cross-border trade, investment, and business travel. Panelists will cover tariff actions, both threatened and implemented, and immigration enforcement at the border and inside the country. They will also discuss court challenges to these policies and how businesses and agencies have adapted.

Liang is a member of Taft’s International Trade and China practice groups in the firm’s Dupont Circle office. She works on antidumping and countervailing duty cases, Section 301 and Section 232 exclusion requests, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection investigations and audits.

Taft has a strong connection to NAPABA. Cleveland partner and Executive Committee member Philip R. Bautista was recently appointed to NAPABA’s Board of Governors for the 2026–2027 term. For more on his appointment, click here.
