Jerry Ling has earned multiple distinctions for his work representing multinationals in complex disputes and leading internal investigations involving the most significant forms of corporate liability and misconduct. Jerry frequently directs forensic investigations into international data breach and ransomware events and advises management and boards of public companies on strategies for data breach incident response, notice, and disclosure. He also has assisted multiple public companies in obtaining declinations from government authorities after self-disclosing alleged violations involving the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the False Claims Act (FCA), and inadequate cybersecurity resilience.
Jerry was previously based in China and has more than 20 years of experience counseling multinationals in China on internal investigations, cross-border litigation, and enforcement actions by PRC (the People's Republic of China) authorities, including on PRC anti-bribery, unfair competition, and cybersecurity laws.
Jerry also leads risk assessments and counsels clients with respect to compliance with U.S. and international laws on corruption and internal controls, AI (artificial intelligence) and GenAI (generative AI) technologies, cybersecurity resilience, and data privacy, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and PRC cross-border data transfer, state secrets, and personal information protection laws.
Jerry provides pro bono services to asylum applicants escaping violence in Central America and to domestic abuse victims in the Bay Area.
