Chris Wong

Summer Associate at Sheppard

Washington, District of Columbia, United States

About

I am a J.D. candidate at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School with a prior background in finance, regulatory compliance, and risk management. Before law school, I worked at CPA Canada, where I led cross-functional compliance initiatives, briefed C-level leadership on regulatory developments, and managed complex insurance and risk portfolios. I also bring financial sector experience from roles at RBC, BMO, and Manulife, where I contributed to privacy compliance, capital reporting, and treasury operations. Most recently, I’ve worked on to legal and regulatory advisory projects at FS Vector, focusing on fintech compliance, banking regulations, and AI policy. This summer, I will be joining Sheppard Mullin's Finance and Bankruptcy Practice as a Summer Associate in their Washington, DC office.
