In the era of the digital economy, data serves as both a core strategic asset and a critical compliance baseline for enterprises. With the implementation of the Cybersecurity Law, Data Security Law, and Personal Information Protection Law alongside regulations such as the Measures for the Security Assessment of Outbound Data Transfer, the Measures for the Standard Contract for Outbound Transfer of Personal Information, and the General Plan for the Market-oriented Allocation of Data Elements, the regulatory landscape has shifted. The focus has moved from “risk prevention and mitigation” to a dual emphasis on “compliance” and “value creation”. Enterprises are required to secure the bottom line of data security and personal information protection while capturing new opportunities in data assetization, trading and circulation.
Zhonglun W&D Law Firm has been deeply engaged in the fields of cybersecurity and data compliance for over a decade, making it one of the earliest domestic law firms to systematically establish a practice in this area. We have been at the forefront of landmark projects, including the first wave of compliance rectifications and outbound data transfer filings following the enactment of the Cybersecurity Law, Data Security Law, and Personal Information Protection Law. With a forward-looking perspective, we provide cutting-edge services for the market-oriented allocation of data elements across diverse sectors, including internet platforms, financial technology, healthcare, automotive, smart manufacturing, retail, and serving both state-owned enterprises and multinational corporations.
Our core expertise focuses on integrated services for risk mitigation and value creation, underpinned by standardized, actionable service workflows that range from routine operations, such as privacy policy optimization and data subject rights protection, to specialized scenarios like security assessment for outbound data transfer, standard contract filing for outbound transfer of personal information, and emergency response for data security incidents, as well as digital transformation initiatives including the construction of data compliance systems, data assetization, and compliance for data trading. Leveraging our cross-departmental synergy—integrating expertise from our Corporate, Finance, Insurance, Intellectual Property, and Dispute Resolution teams—we do more than solve isolated compliance issues. We build a “Business Security + Data Compliance + Strategic Development” triad to help clients achieve data-driven sustainable growth under a stringent regulatory environment.
Furthermore, as artificial intelligence becomes the core engine of the global technological revolution and industrial transformation, it is rapidly penetrating industries such as finance, healthcare, and manufacturing, which brings complex legal challenges regarding AI data governance, algorithmic compliance, AI agent supervision, cross-border compliance, and related dispute resolution. Leveraging our global service network and profound professional expertise, Zhonglun W&D Law Firm has built a multidisciplinary “Law + Technology + Industry” service synergy. Led by core practitioners in cybersecurity, data compliance, and intellectual property, and backed by specialist in dispute resolution, foreign-related business and government regulation, we focus on the compliance and litigation needs of the entire AI industry chain, and we are proud to be pioneers and practitioners at the frontier of AI-related legal services.
