Senior Partner and Head of Dentons Rodyk’s Intellectual Property and Technology practice Gilbert Leong, clinched the Data Privacy and Protection Lawyer of the Year Award at the recently concluded ALB SEA Law Awards 2022.

Honoured and thrilled with the win, Gilbert said: “Data is the new oil and companies have come to rely on the collection, use and sharing of data to drive their business. Consequently, data privacy and protection issues have become more prominent and pronounced in recent years. Those practising in this area are constantly being called upon to help clients navigate what can be sometimes murky waters.”
