Career

As a U.S.-trained attorney who has worked in China for over a decade, Calvin leverages his international background and local expertise to advise clients in navigating their most pressing and challenging regulatory, compliance, internal and government investigations, litigation and dispute resolution matters.

In the investigations space, Calvin has represented companies and their board committees in matters ranging from corruption and conflicts of interest, to trade compliance and cybersecurity incidents. These investigations span industries, and include work for market leaders in the life sciences, technology and telecommunications, chemicals, automotive, diversified industrials and retail sectors.

To help clients avoid problems, Calvin regularly advises on the design and implementation of comprehensive anti-corruption compliance programs, as well as providing guidance on pre-acquisition due diligence, risk assessments, and remediation. Having spent several years working on the day-to-day implementation of an FCPA compliance program in China to address what was then the largest FCPA case brought by the U.S. Government, Calvin has developed a keen understanding and anticipation for the ways the U.S. Government evaluates official corruption issues and the steps a company takes to forestall and address such problems. In addition, Calvin has served as a member of the anti-corruption compliance monitor team for a global medical device company during a 3-year resolution related to a World Bank Group investigation.
