Chester Lim

I am a technology, media and communications lawyer advising clients across Asia-Pacific on commercial, regulatory and public policy matters.

I advise clients on the legal, regulatory and commercial issues that arise in the digital space. This includes technology sourcing, outsourcing, data protection, cybersecurity and licensing matters. My focus is on commercial and advisory work, and my clients are drawn from a number of industries including financial services, healthcare, retail and telecommunications.

I also have significant experience advising on public policy matters, including assistance provided to a Southeast Asian government as part of a World Bank funded initiative to draft its data protection and cybersecurity laws.

• Advised a cross-border payments platform and tech unicorn valued at US$1 billion on its expansion into new markets in Asia-Pacific and Europe.
