Secondly, it cultivates keen insight and problem-solving skills. Public security organizations are often at the forefront of dealing with emerging societal issues. They are responsible for identifying problems and determining effective solutions. This experience equips lawyers to address new problems, interpret and enforce laws, and enhance the practicality and feasibility of compliance plans. Lastly, Li highlights the advantage of improving understanding in the internet industry and new technologies. His seamless transition from police to a cybersecurity and data protection lawyer stems from his previous experience in public security law enforcement related to cybersecurity. By staying connected with the internet industry and keeping abreast of new technologies, Li has continuously examined the field’s development from both law enforcement and legal service perspectives. LAW MEETS TECHNOLOGY In the field of cybersecurity and data protection, having a solid understanding of both law and technology has become increasingly crucial for lawyers. Raymond Wang acknowledges that lawyers are often considered “laymen” compared to their clients. However, he emphasizes that lawyers can learn from technical experts in large companies who excel at explaining technical principles and development journeys to non-experts. By taking the initiative to learn, asking pertinent questions, and conducting thorough verification, lawyers can grasp many fundamental technical issues and reduce communication costs without compromising their legal judgment. Wang believes that lawyers should not limit themselves due to their professional capacity, and the pursuit of knowledge should be driven by curiosity. However, it is essential for lawyers not to pretend to understand when they don’t. Admitting a lack of understanding and seeking clarification is crucial. Wang warns against complacency merely because a lawyer has acquired some technical jargon. Failing to genuinely comprehend a matter while giving the impression of understanding can lead to significant mistakes. Li Tianhang shares this perspective, emphasizing the importance of data protection and cybersecurity lawyers having a comprehensive understanding of cutting-edge technologies, their commercial applications, and industry issues. This knowledge forms a strong foundation for smooth communication with industry practitioners and enables lawyers to provide effective legal services. Lawyers must be able to comprehend the companies they serve and industry practitioners, translate complex technological concepts into legal language, identify and extract legal issues, and propose suitable solutions. However, Li also highlights the challenges of combining law and technology.
