Carolyn Bigg wins praise for her practice advising on data privacy and protection, as well as other compliance issues related to technology licensing and data localisation. She is a favourite choice of client for foreign multinationals operating in China and the Asia-Pacific region.

Carolyn has a deep understanding of, and insight into, Chinese data privacy laws and rich experience in dealing with complicated data privacy compliance matters.

Her advice and guidance is invaluable. I particularly like her pragmatic and hands-on approach to complicated and nuanced compliance questions.
