The floor at Bently Reserve in downtown San Francisco was filled with attorneys laughing and celebrating late Thursday night at the Asian American Bar Association of the Greater Bay Area’s 42nd annual gala—and with good reason.

The Asian American Bar Association completed its “20×20” challenge three years early. Wilson Chu, a partner at McDermott Will & Emery, and Don Liu, executive vice president and chief legal and risk officer at Target Corp., started the initiative in 2015, setting the goal of 20 Asian-American general counsel at Fortune 500 companies by 2020.
