As part of Legal 500’s GC Powerlist Week, Legal 500 partnered with Jones Day to host an exclusive Breakfast Seminar at the firm’s Singapore office, bringing together 40 of the region’s leading general counsel recognised in the 2025 Southeast Asia GC Powerlist.
The event provided an intimate setting for senior in-house counsel to share insights and best practices while exploring the complex and fast-evolving legal landscape surrounding data protection, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence.
The session, titled “Caught in the Acts”, was led by Dr. Undine von Diemar, Partner and Head of Jones Day’s European Cybersecurity, Privacy & Data Protection Practice, and Elizabeth Cole, head of Cybersecurity for Jones Day in Southeast Asia. Together, they examined the implications of recent regulatory developments across Europe and Asia that are reshaping compliance strategies for companies operating in the region.
Undine opened with a deep dive into the EU Digital Agenda, offering clarity on the growing web of digital legislation that now governs data and technology use across Europe. She provided a detailed overview of the AI Act, the world’s first comprehensive risk-based framework for regulating artificial intelligence, alongside the Data Act, NIS2 Directive, and Cyber Resilience Act — each of which introduces new obligations on data sharing, cybersecurity resilience, and operational accountability.
Elizabeth followed with a regional perspective on Asia’s data protection and AI landscape, highlighting the diversity of regulatory approaches across jurisdictions and the increasing pace of legislative change. She discussed key AI developments, including China’s evolving regulatory model and Singapore’s draft Digital Infrastructure Act and AI guidelines, as well as recent enforcement trends demonstrating that regulators in the region are becoming more assertive and coordinated in their oversight.
The event underscored Legal 500 and Jones Day’s commitment to fostering meaningful dialogue among the region’s most influential corporate counsel, providing an invaluable platform for collaboration, learning, and networking within the GC Powerlist community.
