WeirFoulds Partner James Kosa, Co-Chair of the firm’s Technology and Intellectual Property and Privacy and Access to Information Practice Groups, and Co-Chair of the Blockchain and Digital Assets Practice Group, was quoted in a recent CTV News article examining the real-world implications of data sovereignty and cross-border data access.
The article explores growing concerns around the extent to which Canadians’ personal information may be subject to foreign laws when stored or controlled by non-Canadian technology companies. In his comments, James highlights the legal and privacy issues that can arise when personal data falls within the reach of another country’s jurisdiction, particularly where access rights and enforcement powers may differ from those in Canada.
James’ perspective reflects the broader challenges facing organizations and policymakers as they navigate an evolving legal environment influenced by rapid technological change and shifting geopolitical realities. His contribution to the discussion reinforces the importance of understanding how data governance frameworks can directly affect the protection, control, and accessibility of personal information.
