Bio

Jerry Ling has earned multiple distinctions for his work leading high-stakes corporate investigations into the most significant forms of misconduct, ranging from trade secret theft and embezzlement, to potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the False Claims Act (FCA), and cybersecurity laws. He has also litigated intellectual property and contractual disputes in Asia and in the United States. Jerry has arbitrated breach of contract claims for a global private equity fund in Hong Kong, defended a major telecom manufacturer against patent infringement lawsuits filed in China, and brought trade secret claims on behalf of a global retailer in coordinated actions across Asia. He also handles matters in U.S. courts and recently assisted a technology company in an antitrust dispute and an investment fund in a consumer class action. Jerry was previously based in Shanghai for 10 years and counseled dozens of U.S.-listed companies in investigating alleged compliance violations arising in China and Asia. Notably, he recently assisted public companies in obtaining declinations from U.S. government authorities after self-disclosing alleged FCPA and other compliance violations. Jerry also leads risk assessments and compliance training for multinationals — with a focus on anticorruption, cybersecurity, and data privacy laws — and advises clients with respect to conducting anticorruption and compliance due diligence for their global acquisitions.
