Nathan Harpainter
Co-Managing Editor of SINOTALKS®
Nathan Harpainter is an attorney working primarily in the areas of civil and probate litigation. He also has experience advising clients in relation to cross-border trademark issues between the United States and China. Despite his demanding legal practice, he is committed to advancing global understanding of China and Chinese law, a goal that is rooted in his long-term interest in China, Asia, politics, and international relations.
As a Co-Managing Editor of SINOTALKS®, Mr. Harpainter leverages his extensive experiences and skills acquired during his years serving as an Associate Managing Editor of the China Guiding Cases Project (“CGCP”) at Stanford Law School to ensure the high-quality of SINOTALKS® publications and to help develop this rapidly growing repository of knowledge about Chinese law and policy. While serving as an Associate Managing Editor of the CGCP, he helped finalize all English versions of China Law Connect, a well-respected quarterly English and Chinese journal that featured articles contributed by U.S. and Chinese judges and other experts and that ultimately brought the total number of CGCP website users to more than 200,000. Mr. Harpainter also assisted with the translation and research of many other articles published by the CGCP. In addition, he took the lead to conduct a survey soliciting practitioners’ comments on China’s International Commercial Courts immediately after these new institutions were established and then co-authored an article with his team to analyze the survey data and discuss related insights.
Prior to pursuing his legal career, Mr. Harpainter worked as a research associate focusing on China and East Asian politics at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C., and as a research intern at the Beijing Office of International Crisis Group. Mr. Harpainter has a J.D. from Santa Clara University School of Law and a B.A. and M.A. in International Policy from the Monterey Institute of International Studies.
