Lawyer
Kelvin
Yeung
I am a commercially trained lawyer seeking articles in British Columbia or Ontario. My background spans corporate and commercial contracting, regulatory compliance, and privacy law, built through in-house roles in Australia and Canada.
I completed my Juris Doctor at the University of Sydney and hold a Bachelor of Arts from Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. After practising in Australia, I completed the NCA requirements in 2025 and am now focused on building my career in Canadian law.
Between legal roles, I worked in data analytics and compliance at Uber and KPMG Australia. That experience — across regulatory reporting, privacy frameworks, and contract lifecycle management — informs how I approach legal problems and gives me a working technical literacy that I bring to transactional and regulatory work.
