Lee & Ko announced Friday that it has been named to the ALB Asia Top Cybersecurity & Data Law Firms 2026 list, published by Asian Legal Business (ALB), a leading international legal media outlet.

ALB, a Thomson Reuters publication, compiles the ranking by evaluating law firms across the Asia-Pacific region on their expertise, track record and capacity to handle matters in the data privacy and cybersecurity (DPC) space.

The "Cybersecurity & Data" category was introduced for the first time this year, reflecting surging demand for legal services in cybersecurity and data protection amid accelerating digital transformation. The selection marks another international validation of Lee & Ko's expertise and capabilities in the field.

Lee & Ko's Technology, Media & Telecommunications and Data Privacy & Cybersecurity (TMT & DPC) Group covers broadcasting, telecommunications, IT, personal data and information security. The group provides clients with tailored legal services ranging from transactional and regulatory advice to regulatory investigations and sanctions response, as well as litigation.

Building on that expertise, the TMT & DPC Group has cemented a leading position through a series of high-profile litigation and advisory mandates. Most recently, it secured a complete victory in a large-scale damages suit brought by 5G mobile service subscribers against South Korea's three major mobile carriers.

The group also won a Supreme Court ruling in favor of SK Telecom in a case where users sought to halt the pseudonymization of their personal data. In addition, when SK Telecom suffered what became the largest personal data breach ever recorded at a domestic mobile carrier, the group represented the company before the Personal Information Protection Commission, managing the investigation and enforcement process and securing the maximum possible reduction in the regulatory fine.

Meanwhile, Lee & Ko continues to rank among the top tier in global law firm assessments. The Legal 500 has awarded the firm its highest rating for 17 consecutive years from 2009 to 2025, and Chambers Global has ranked it the top M&A firm in the Asia-Pacific region for 13 consecutive years from 2013 to 2025.
