The team at Bird & Bird regularly handles a varied range of mandates involving cross-border data transfer agreements, security breaches, and privacy impact assessments. The group has experienced an increase in data localisation and transfer matters after China’s implementation of the PIPL. The team frequently acts for clients from a broad range of sectors, including banking, technology, and transport, who collect and transfer sensitive data. Having joined the team from an in-house position at Tencent in November 2022, ‘one of a kind’ practice head Wilfred Ng is noted for his broad experience in advising on data protection compliance and GDPR related matters.
