Ying Zhong

I am a technology, media, telecoms and privacy associate based in Beijing.

I have three years of experience in data privacy, cybersecurity and financial regulation.

Prior to joining Bird & Bird, I worked at a Magic Circle law firm advising major financial institutions on data protection and financial regulatory compliance.

I have experience in advising data protection issues in sectors of finance, technology, healthcare, retail and manufacturing. I assisted multiple multinational clients in data compliance projects regarding their business operation in China.

For outbound projects, I have extensive experience in assisting international companies in establishing local data compliance frameworks, conducting legal risk assessments in relation to their overseas business operations and formulating data compliance benchmarks across multinational jurisdictions. I am particularly adept at resolving complicated legal issues that clients have encountered in their overseas business.

I also have experience in advising various financial institutions, including banks, securities companies, mutual fund, futures companies and insurance institutions on financial regulation.

I am fluent in English, Mandarin and Cantonese.
