Case Study: Reed Smith LLP achieves faster, more accurate APAC privacy guidance with OneTrust DataGuidance

Reed Smith LLP relies on OneTrust DataGuidance for localized privacy law research

Reed Smith LLP, a global law firm with more than 1,500 lawyers in 30 offices, faced the challenge of advising multinational clients across a rapidly evolving and highly fragmented Asia‑Pacific privacy landscape. Counsel Charmian Aw in Singapore needed a user‑friendly, in‑depth research tool and timely updates to track emerging laws and amendments — a need met by OneTrust through its OneTrust DataGuidance Regulatory Research platform.

OneTrust implemented DataGuidance features such as comparison charts, a Global Privacy Directory, Guidance Notes in English and original languages, and tailored Daily News Alerts supported by 40+ in‑house privacy analysts. The OneTrust solution reduced the time and resources Reed Smith spent on privacy research, enabled faster, more accurate advice across its global network of offices, and gave the firm a competitive edge when advising clients on complex, localized data protection matters.
