Join us for Lunch with Honors with Javier Rubinstein.

With the increasing ease of global communication and travel, the emergence of globalization and constantly growing international trade and investment flows, the world continues to shrink and the opportunities for international careers are greater than they ever have been before. Javier Rubinstein, a 1984 Honors Program graduate, will speak with us about his international legal career. Javier will speak with us about what an international career entails, and the steps that undergraduate students can be taking to position themselves for international opportunities. Javier leads the international dispute resolution practice at Kirkland & Ellis LLP. He previously served as Vice Chairman and Global General Counsel at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and led the international arbitration practice at Mayer Brown LLP. Over the course of Javier’s 25+ year legal career, Javier has handled a wide range of legal disputes on virtually every continent, including regulatory, commercial and sports-related disputes as well as investment treaty disputes governed by international law and two cases argued before the US Supreme Court.

Austin joined Michigan Photography in 2008 as a Photoshop technician but quickly joined the ranks of the photographers on staff. While he tackles all sorts of different assignments, Austin enjoys making portraits the most, especially when he has the time to get to know his subject. His photography has taken him to five continents. If he’s not booking his next flight abroad you can find him on a bicycle, either on a backwoods trail or paved road. Austin will talk about what it takes to be a professional photographer, and his ten years at the University.
