As an associate in our Commercial team based in Shanghai, I advise Chinese and international clients on a range of data protection and cybersecurity issues, with a special focus on the TMT sector.
I have extensive experience in carrying out data protection compliance projects, conducting data compliance due diligence, reviewing data processing and cross-border data transfer agreements, drafting customer/employee-facing privacy documents, and managing data breaches. I also have in-depth experience in assisting Chinese companies with overseas data compliance projects across different regions, mainly including EMEA, APAC, LATAM and North America.
Prior to joining the firm, I worked in a top data protection team in a leading PRC law firm. At Bird & Bird, I was seconded to a world leading technology company operating a range of content platforms, as part of the Product Legal BP team to advise on all aspects of compliance issues for certain IoT-enabled products across multiple overseas jurisdictions.
During my secondment, I coordinated and managed work carried out by in-house counsels and external law firms to provide timely and effective legal solutions which enable the company to achieve its commercial objectives.
I obtained my Master of Laws in Advanced Studies in Law and Digital Technologies from Leiden University, and Master of Laws in International Law from East China University of Political Science and Law. I am qualified to practice PRC laws with my PRC bar passed in 2017.
I am also a Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe (CIPP/E) and a Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM).
