ATTORNEY SPOTLIGHT—MICHIRU TAKAHASHI

The complicated fabric of privacy and data security regulations in Asia continues to challenge multinational clients. The last few months have seen significant regulatory changes within Asia—strengthened enforcement measures in many countries, a more robust Japanese Personal Information Protection Act, the creation of a Personal Information Protection Commission in Japan, and others. These changes, coupled with developments in Europe and the Americas, compel businesses with a global footprint to constantly monitor and update their compliance practices.

Michiru Takahashi, a partner based in Tokyo, Japan, assists clients on various privacy issues, including cross-border transfers of personal data, internal compliance programs, and data breach response. She regularly advises Japan-based multinational clients on global data protection issues as well as cross-border data transfers from Europe to the Americas to Asian Pacific nations.
