Linklaters navigates an ever changing data privacy landscape, working on an increasingly full gamut of data privacy and cybersecurity, including data privacy and cyber security issues in commercial and technology licensing agreements, as well as potential gaps in their data protection practices that clients may face. On the regulatory side, the group stands out for its regulatory work across Asia and beyond, including assisting with investigations by the PCPD. Practice head Albert Yuen, supported by associate and GDPR data privacy specialist Jasmine Yung, is key in this regard, benefitting from experience working at several international law firms across the APAC region.
Testimonials

‘Linklaters has assisted us on a gap analysis. From the initial scoping discussions, it was clear that the Linklaters team possessed deep, up-to-date knowledge of the latest privacy regulations, industry standards, and emerging best practices.'
- 'What truly set Linklaters apart was their ability to translate complex legal and technical concepts into clear, actionable insights. Their final privacy gap analysis report not only highlighted the gaps we needed to address but also provided detailed recommendations on how to do so, including suggested policy updates, process improvements, and technology implementations.’
