About Monica Lin

I am a business attorney with substantial experience in both litigation and corporate transactions. I have represented financial institutions, lenders, real estate ventures, public entities including the City of Los Angeles, as well as corporations and their executives. My skills and experience are especially suited for regulated and technology-driven areas such as financial services, healthcare, and emerging tech, where proactive legal strategy and compliance are critical to business success. I stay current on in-house practices, fintech, and the evolving tools and challenges facing legal teams. Licensed in California and New York, I bring extensive experience in commercial and real estate litigation, general business counsel, and emerging legal issues such as data privacy, regulatory compliance, and technology transactions. I have earned the designation of Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP/US) by IAPP. Additionally, I am fluent in Mandarin and well-versed in cross-border work. Always strategic, curious, and outcomes-driven, I am committed to delivering tangible results and helping business teams succeed.
