Praised for their ‘excellent’ coverage of regulatory issues across the APAC region, the team at Linklaters calls upon its prior expertise working for the Hong Kong Data Privacy Commissioner to advise on international information management projects, particularly in relation to the implementation of the Chinese Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) and European GDPR. The ‘excellent’ Albert Yuen heads the practice, and is known for his longstanding expertise in handling a broad range of TMT issues involving data protection and privacy, cloud arrangements, and telecoms projects. Hailed by clients as ‘the privacy lawyer to watch’, associate Yang Fan leverages his in-house experience to handle global data projects, contentious subject asset issues, and business-critical data security incidents.
