What this status means on the register
On the register, “Suspended, delinquent” means the attorney is recorded as suspended from practice, with the registration also delinquent. The register does not give the reason or date of a suspension; the Appellate Division’s order does. How many hold this status.

Others who list this employer on the register
The register gives this attorney’s employer as “Baker & McKenzie LLP. Shanghai Office”. We count that spelling with Baker McKenzie LLP, the name most registrants give for the firm now; the register does not say where the attorney works today.
357 other attorneys list Baker McKenzie LLP or one of its other names as their employer on the register. The 5 whose admission is closest to 2009, earliest first:

How to confirm it officially
The register is published by the court system; PlainAttorney shows it as released. For a statement of an attorney’s standing, contact the Attorney Registration Unit of the NY Office of Court Administration (nycourts.gov/attorneys), or ask the Appellate Division in the attorney’s department. The register places the office outside New York, so a complaint would go to the grievance committee of the Third Department, which admitted this attorney (22 NYCRR 1240.7(a)(2)).
This page reads the register file of Sep 29, 2026; the court system publishes the file every few weeks, so its own search can be newer. The register shows only the current value: a suspension that ended before the files we hold, or discipline short of suspension such as a censure, leaves no trace here. Appellate Division decisions on attorney discipline are published in the New York Official Reports, online through the court system’s Law Reporting Bureau.
