China has progressively stepped up enforcement of its anti-monopoly and data security regulations. On August 1, 2022, the amended Anti-Monopoly Law came into effect, prohibiting the use of certain technologies to engage in anti-competitive behaviour, raising the maximum fines for violations, and curbing abuse by administrative organizations. When it comes to data security, China has prioritised data protection, data privacy, and cybersecurity through a series of laws and regulations such as the Individual Information Protection Law. At this conference the speakers will focus on these two regulatory dimensions and discuss individual and corporate liabilities.

The regulatory environment is changing fast and non-compliance could expose a company to unforeseen risks, even civil and criminal penalties. For executives, directors, shareholders, and members of a corporation, it is imperative to have a clear understanding of the differences between corporate and individual liabilities and know how to mitigate the risk of individual liabilities.

Join in the annual Compliance Conference to gain insights and receive guidance on emerging compliance risks and solutions, implement best practices and strategies, and share ideas with senior legal and compliance professionals.
