Biography
With over a decade of experience, I have been supporting individuals affected by personal injury in their journey towards recovery. I obtained my law degree from Columbia University, where I was recognized as a Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar. I also hold a business degree from the Kenan Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, where I received 17 scholarships. Since 2020, my achievements have been acknowledged as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers, featuring on the cover of Super Lawyers Magazine for Solo Success. My written works have been published in reputable publications such as the Wall Street Lawyer and the Practising Law Institute. I have conducted presentations on SEC Enforcement and Compliance as well as Executive Compensation. In the past, I have co-authored Fried Frank's White Collar Criminal Defense and Securities Enforcement Memo.
Prior to establishing Tien Law Firm, my professional journey included working as a litigation and corporate associate at Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson in New York. My areas of focus encompassed SEC & DOJ enforcement, government investigations, commercial litigation, and capital markets. Throughout my tenure, I provided legal counsel to distinguished clients including Bank of America, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Barclays, Oppenheimer, Tishman Speyer, and CBRE. During my time in law school, I served as a Summer Associate at Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver, and Jacobson in New York. Additionally, I gained valuable experience as a judicial intern for the Honorable George H. Lowe at the United States District Court (NDNY).
