Attorney Information
Overview
Ting Cheung is a Senior Litigation Counsel at Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight in Washington, D.C.
At Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight, Ting focuses her practice on employment law and whistleblower representation. She also handles cases of wrongful death, contractual disputes, and sexual violence. Because she handles both employment and whistleblower matters, she is able to assess and sequence claims together where a single course of conduct supports both on different timelines and in different forums. Ting brings a comparative and cross-border perspective to her cases, drawn from legal training and experience in two common law systems, and work with international institutions on labor and human rights questions. That background shapes how she approaches matters involving foreign companies, overseas conduct, and clients whose work spans jurisdictions. Given her native proficiency in Mandarin and Cantonese, she also understands the cultural nuances in representing Asian American employees and whistleblowers.
Ting has developed a neurodiversity-informed approach to representation, grounded in how neurodivergent clients process information, communicate, and experience the legal process—a topic she speaks and writes about frequently. Her detailed understanding of each client’s circumstances and objectives allows her to approach resolution creatively, identifying strategies a more distant approach would miss.
