About the work
One practice.
Two lenses.
Vicko Taniady is a corporate lawyer and legal researcher whose work sits at the intersection of legal practice, technology, and regulation.
His practical experience includes commercial and regulatory legal work, legal due diligence, transaction support, legal memoranda and opinions, corporate matters, land and operational issues, and litigation-related work across law firm and in-house environments.
Alongside that practice, he researches artificial intelligence and law, privacy and personal data protection, digital governance, comparative regulation, and the policy questions created by emerging technologies. The result is a perspective that asks both how law operates today and how it must adapt for tomorrow.
