-
- Complex commercial and IP litigation
- Government investigations and enforcement related to data privacy, FCPA, sanctions, and antitrust
- Compliance, including related to transactions and developing compliance programs and policies
Mr. Xu also assists clients by liaising with regulators in the US and China, presenting findings, and developing strategies to resolve situations short of litigation.
He helps clients bridge regulatory, linguistic, and cultural gaps between parties. He draws on extensive experience in China and leverages skill managing a global team with relevant expertise to handle clients’ sensitive or high-risk matters.
