About the Program

The web of data protection laws being introduced across the world continues to become ever more complex. Businesses operating at an international level face serious compliance challenges. This program will present a discussion of data protection laws in countries that present some of the most significant risks. Beginning in Europe, we will discuss the new rules around cross-border transfers, trends and approaches from the regulator to the enforcement of the GDPR and its interaction with proposed AI laws. Our discussion of Asia will recap the position in a number of the major jurisdictions in the region (Japan, Singapore and China) and compare and contrast these with new law in Vietnam.
