Sector Overview

WONE in
Technology, Media & Entertainment.

Technology is the sector where the gap between the pace of business and the pace of regulation is largest — and where the professional services market has been slowest to adapt. The EU AI Act, GDPR and its international equivalents, digital services taxes across 40+ countries, and data localisation requirements in markets from India to Saudi Arabia create a compliance burden that most advisory networks are not equipped to handle at speed.

WONE Intel was built specifically for this sector. AI regulatory mapping across 80+ jurisdictions, real-time compliance alerts, and senior partners with direct experience of technology regulatory matters — not general commercial lawyers who occasionally see a GDPR question. WONE moves at the pace technology businesses actually need.

01
EU AI Act compliance — and its global equivalents
The EU AI Act creates obligations for any AI system deployed in the EU regardless of where it was developed. Understanding which obligations apply, designing compliant systems, and maintaining ongoing compliance requires specialist legal advice that most firms cannot yet provide.
02
Data law across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously
A SaaS business with users in the EU, UK, US, Singapore, and India faces five different data protection regimes simultaneously. GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, PDPA, and DPDP Act are not identical — the compliance programme must address all of them.
03
Digital economy taxation — DST, OECD Pillar One, permanent establishment
Digital businesses create tax obligations in markets where they have economic presence without physical presence. Digital services taxes, OECD Pillar One reallocation, and the permanent establishment risk from remote selling all create cross-border tax complexity.
04
Technology M&A — regulatory due diligence across jurisdictions
Acquiring a technology business with users or operations in multiple jurisdictions requires regulatory due diligence across every market — data protection compliance, AI Act status, sector-specific tech regulation, and IP ownership across legal systems.
