Yuanyou (Sunny) Yang is a Partner at FBT Gibbons and a strategic architect for complex international trade and regulatory compliance. Her practice is uniquely focused on the high-stakes friction between U.S. trade policy and global commerce, specifically as it relates to the shifting tariff and trade landscape with China under the Trump administration.

Sunny specializes in transactional enablement: ensuring that international deals—including high-value IP licensing—remain viable and compliant within an evolving regulatory environment. She provides critical guidance on Section 301 tariffs, CFIUS, and the “”Entity List”” (BIS/OFAC), helping clients restructure supply chains and industrial layouts to ensure transactions move forward despite geopolitical volatility. While she advises on trade secret misappropriation and IP infringement, her core strength lies in managing the regulatory hurdles—such as EAR, BIS, and SDN Lists—that dictate the global flow of technology.

Serving as Outside General Counsel for dozens of international firms, Sunny manages the daily intersection of trade remedies and operational strategy. A frequent speaker and leader in national bar associations, she is a recognized authority on how strategic compliance and country-of-origin determinations impact the success of international licensing and global investment.
