She routinely counsels multinational companies on regulatory compliance matters related to anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws (US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), UK Bribery Act, and local anticorruption requirements), antitrust and competition laws, cybersecurity and data privacy laws, anti-money laundering legislations, and trade compliance.
Dora routinely counsels clients on antitrust and competition laws, cybersecurity and data privacy laws, pre-transaction compliance diligence, compliance audit and policy formulation and implementation, anti-money laundering legislations, trade-related compliance requirements and regulatory compliance with respect to anti-corruption/anti-bribery laws (US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, UK Bribery Act, and local anti-corruption requirements). She has represented multinational clients in many high-stake internal and government investigations by the United States (e.g., Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Securities (BIS), Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), China, and European authorities. She also has extensive experience advising top management on crisis management and complex dispute resolution.
With more than 15 years of experience in government, litigation and client advocacy, Dora’s practice combines an in-depth knowledge of the law with a keen understanding of the latest enforcement trends and business conditions in the Greater China region to provide practical and effective legal and strategic counselling to clients. Dora is one of the few fully-bilingual investigation lawyers in China who are also well-versed in legal technology, as she served on her prior firm’s global eDiscovery advisory committee and often employs advanced data analytics and investigative techniques to conduct cost-effective and efficient discovery of facts and evidence for cross-border litigation, internal audits, and investigations.
