GPO consists of approximately 30 professionals, and L&C is comprised of over 400 attorneys in North America, EMEA, and Asia. Aileen consistently stood out for: the depth and detail of her APAC privacy knowledge, including the newest developments; her engagement with the subject matter; the quality of her clear and concise communications; her risk- managed judgment; and the pace of her work, which always respected the clients’ time-scale. Aileen is an outstanding attorney, subject matter expert, and colleague. I recommend her most highly.
