Yuchen Zhang

I specialize in cross-border compliance investigations and international arbitration, representing multinational corporations and leading Chinese state-owned enterprises. My practice centers on managing complex FCPA matters, including representing a global medical device company in a high-profile case through investigations, SEC/DOJ settlement and monitoring phases. In international arbitration, I handle submissions preparation and lead fact-finding. Additionally, I contribute to the firm's strategic growth through successful client acquisition and relationship management initiatives across key Asian markets.

As Research Assistant to Professor V. Jesudevan, Deputy Senior State Counsel of the Singapore Attorney-General's Chambers, I conducted in-depth comparative legal research on anti-bribery and anti-corruption frameworks. My work focused on analyzing China's enforcement trends alongside international best practices, providing substantive research support for high-level conference presentations. This research contributed to informed policy discussions and enhanced understanding of evolving compliance strategies in the Asia-Pacific region.

During my internship with the International Arbitration practice, I supported cross-border commercial disputes addressing climate-related corporate liability and energy policy matters. I conducted legal research on evolving regulatory frameworks and assisted in assessing potential environmental liabilities for a Swiss-based multinational. Additionally, I contributed to advising a governmental authority on compliance and dispute prevention strategies regarding new energy development policies.

As a Legal Intern in the firm's Regulatory & Criminal Enforcement practice, I supported multinational clients in sensitive internal investigations, primarily involving FCPA-related allegations. My work encompassed conducting due diligence research, performing preliminary electronic evidence review, and preparing interview materials. I contributed to the SEC settlement of a significant FCPA investigation through drafting key disclosure documents and supported internal investigations by compiling findings and coordinating with global compliance teams.
