Biography International Lawyer and Corporate Governance Expert

Jane Murphy is an accomplished international lawyer with over 30 years of experience in corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, and data protection regulations. Originally from Quebec, Canada, Jane’s passion for international law took her to Belgium in 1993, where she joined the Canadian Embassy in Brussels before transitioning into business consulting to gain a deeper understanding of the corporate world. However, her love for law drew her back to legal practice, where she has since become a respected legal professional in Belgium.

In addition to her legal career, Jane holds mandates as a non-executive board member and committee member in various companies across Brussels, Paris, London, Geneva, Mumbai, Singapore, and Amsterdam. She is the founder of several data protection companies, including EDPO (European Data Protection Office) and European Digital Services Representative (EDSR), enabling foreign companies to navigate EU, UK, and Swiss regulations. Fluent in English, French, and Dutch, Jane combines her global expertise with a deep understanding of local business practices, making her a trusted advisor to international clients.
