Kristen Harris, legal director for Harley-Davidson in Asia-Pacific, talks to Elizabeth Broomhall about her drive to get more legal advisers, navigating Asian riding laws and why she loves her job

Racing around Asia to manage the dealership network of America’s best-known motorcycle manufacturer is all in a day’s work for Kristen Harris. As Harley-Davidson’s legal director for Asia-Pacific and one of just three Harley lawyers in the region, she refers to herself as more of a ‘jack of all trades’ than her US colleagues (who are 20 in number with each focusing on specialist practice areas), but this doesn’t stop her from loving her job.
