Sea is a bilingual litigator with experiences litigating complex commercial cases, including contract, fraud, fiduciary duties, corporate governance and securities law. Sea has studied and worked in US, China and Australia, such background allows her to litigate complicated cases internationally. Sea has represented both plaintiffs and defendants, which gives her a unique ability to anticipate strategies and techniques used by opposing counsel. Representing plaintiffs, she has obtained injunction orders to freeze defendants’ assets and thus prevents defendants’ further misappropriations. She has also coordinated counsel in other jurisdictions such as UK, Hong Kong and Macau to successfully obtain ancillary reliefs based on a main proceeding filed in the US. Representing defendants, she has obtained settlements before the plaintiffs ever filed a lawsuit, dismissals with prejudice at the pleading stage, and summary judgment disposing of the claims. Other than civil litigation, Sea has extensive experiences on immigration and criminal proceedings as well.
