プロフィール
A former federal prosecutor, Ivy A. Wang has deep experience in white collar criminal and regulatory defense. Drawing on her experience, Ivy represents individuals and corporations in connection with all phases of investigations by federal and state enforcement authorities, from initial government contact through the end of trial proceedings. She also conducts internal investigations on behalf of corporations and governmental organizations. In addition, Ivy litigates commercial disputes ranging from trade secrets and unfair business practices to contract disagreements in both state and federal court.
As an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California, Ivy spent 12 years investigating and prosecuting diverse criminal matters, including insider trading, investment fraud, economic espionage, RICO, violent crime, narcotics trafficking, and identity theft. In this capacity, she was recognized with the 2010 Executive Office for United States Attorneys Director’s Award for securing the first trial conviction in the nation under 18 U.S.C. § 1831 (economic espionage on behalf of a foreign government) in United States v. Dongfan Chung, where the Boeing engineer defendant stole Space Shuttle information to benefit the People’s Republic of China.
Ivy’s experience includes securing an acquittal on all counts for a medical doctor charged in a $355 million federal health care fraud prosecution after a three-month jury trial. Similarly, she obtained a dismissal on all counts for a U.S. Navy admiral in the federal “Fat Leonard” bribery prosecution, after a four-month trial which ended in a hung jury verdict. Ivy has also successfully navigated multiple targets through federal and state criminal investigations in which her clients avoided any prosecution. In addition, Ivy has obtained multiple high-figure settlements for clients in sexual assault and civil rights matters.
Prior to entering private practice, Ivy clerked for the Honorable William A. Fletcher on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
