Ting Cheung

Ting Cheung is Senior Litigation Counsel at Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight in Washington, D.C. She focuses on employment law and whistleblower representation and also handles matters involving wrongful death, contractual disputes, and sexual violence. Her practice includes representing executives and employees in discrimination and retaliation claims, disability and accommodation matters, and disputes involving equity compensation. She also brings a cross-border perspective to matters involving foreign companies, overseas conduct, and clients working across jurisdictions.

Ting earned an LL.M. from Harvard Law School, a P.C.LL. from The University of Hong Kong, and an LL.B. from The University of Hong Kong. Her education in two common law systems supports a comparative approach to employment and whistleblower matters. She combines that legal training with experience involving international institutions and labor and human rights questions, which helps her analyze disputes that cross legal systems, workplace cultures, and geographic boundaries.

Ting’s representative work includes discrimination and retaliation claims for executives and employees, disability discrimination and failure-to-accommodate matters involving neurodivergent workers, disputes involving lost startup equity, severance negotiations for a law firm partner, and a business division matter for a startup cofounder. She has also worked on race and gender discrimination claims for a finance executive. Her practice often requires coordinating employment and whistleblower issues that may proceed on different timelines and in different forums.

Ting Cheung is admitted in California, the District of Columbia, and New York, and her profile lists federal court and U.S. Supreme Court admissions. She has also received professional recognition for employment-law work and broader legal service. Her approach emphasizes close attention to a client’s circumstances and objectives, including communication and process needs. By combining employment litigation, whistleblower experience, and cross-border legal training, she helps clients evaluate claims and develop practical strategies for complex workplace disputes.
