Senior leadership · Fractional cost · Full focus
For technology, biotech, and medical-device companies operating across the United States, Hong Kong, and Greater China.
A Fractional General Counsel is engaged on a part-time, project, or monthly basis — embedded in your leadership team, available to anticipate issues before they escalate, and accountable to the same standard as a full-time GC. The model gives growing companies senior counsel and strategic ballast without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
Sits inside your leadership team, understands the business, and anticipates issues — rather than reacting to them at outside-counsel rates.
Former General Counsel, Global Legal Director, and Director of IP — used to making the call in the room, not drafting the memo for someone else to make it. Built and led legal functions. Sat on management teams. Owned outcomes.
Engineer-trained, with hands-on R&D and product experience before the JD. Reads the technology, the contract, and the room — and translates between them. Comfortable across product, finance, and the C-suite.
Embedded legal and commercial counsel on a monthly or project basis. The trusted lawyer your business can call.
Patent and trademark portfolios built to support business strategy — white space, defensive depth, freedom-to-operate, in- and out-bound licensing.
SaaS, IT, hardware, collaboration, joint-development, and technology-transfer agreements — drafted and negotiated.
Due diligence, transaction documents, and post-closing integration. Particular depth on the IP and technology aspects of M&A.
Master, sales, distributor, supply, manufacturing, partnership, and alliance frameworks — drafted to operate cleanly across borders.
US, Hong Kong, and PRC corporate structures, tax-efficient IP placement, joint ventures, and market-entry support.
Listed-company governance, board reporting, audit-committee support, internal controls, and post-listing compliance.
Medical-device regulation (FDA, CE Mark, NMPA), data privacy (GDPR, CCPA, PIPL), and anti-bribery (FCPA, UKBA).
Beyond legal: cross-functional counsel on partnerships, market entry, capital strategy, and the operating decisions that shape outcomes.
General Counsel of a Hong Kong-listed medical-device company through IPO; Global Legal Director at a multinational EV startup; Director of IP at a NASDAQ-listed cardiovascular leader. Before law, six years in medical-device R&D, including a drug-eluting stent program that became a US$2B product.
BS and MS in engineering. USPTO-registered patent attorney. Reads the technology, not just the contract — and translates between R&D and the legal and commercial decisions that depend on it.
Substantial time embedded in US, Hong Kong, and PRC operations across automotive, medical device, technology, and life-sciences companies. Fully bilingual in English and Chinese, spoken and written.
Works as fluently with engineers, surgeons, and product teams as with finance, the executive team, and the board — in either language, and on either side of the Pacific.
