Sheila Thomas Law Office Recognised in Inaugural ALB Asia Top Cybersecurity & Data Law Firms 2026

Jakarta, August 2026- Sheila Thomas Law Office has been recognised in Asian Legal Business (ALB)’s inaugural Asia Top Cybersecurity & Data Law Firms 2026, published in the August 2026 edition of ALB Asia.For businesses, cybersecurity and data issues increasingly sit inside bigger commercial decisions: Can we deploy the technology? Can data move across borders? Will the customer sign? Can we pass enterprise due diligence? And who bears the risk when something goes wrong?“Clients rarely come to us with a compliance question in isolation. They come with a business decision: can we launch, can we sign, can the data move, can the AI act, and what risk are we taking? Our role is to help make those decisions commercially workable and legally defensible.” Sheila Thomasyadi, Founder & PartnerThe recognition reflects Sheila Thomas Law Office’s work at the intersection of technology, data privacy, cybersecurity and commercial transactions, including technology and SaaS and cloud contracts, agentic AI deployment and contracting, cross-border data transfers, privacy documentation, enterprise customer requirements, and regional commercial arrangements.Our work does not stop with technology and data. The firm also advises Indonesian and international businesses on distribution, reseller and OEM arrangements, strategic financing, commercial loans and cross-border commercial transactions, including transactions involving tangible products.This combination matters because technology, data and commercial risk rarely operate separately. A product may need to satisfy customer security requirements before it can be sold. An AI deployment may require contractual limits on authority and responsibility. A regional expansion may involve technology contracts, data transfers and distribution arrangements at the same time.
