GDPR and Data Protection

Managing and protecting your data

With strict regulations in place to protect data and how it is collected, stored and used, getting good processes in place from the start is vital. We have experience advising clients on all the policies and procedures needed to manage the data you hold. As a full-service law firm, we regularly advise clients on data protection across a range of different circumstances including employment data, medical, sensitive family law matters with large amounts of personal data, commercial contracts, sales and acquisitions, and insolvency.

The earlier we are involved, the more support we can provide, ensuring that you are compliant from day one. If, however, you find yourself in situation where data has been breached, we will assess the situation promptly, establishing the facts and advising you of the implications and steps you need to take. We also support individuals on their rights under data protection laws.

Keeping our clients compliant

All organisations process and manage data. From an independent baker with a small list of clients and suppliers to a multinational tech giant with a dedicated data protection team focussing on compliance.

We have advised significant sized clients on the management of international data transfers, many of which have been complex, both in terms of timeframes and the different regulations which have needed to be followed.

Our clients also include those processing large amounts of personal and sensitive data. These types of data are more heavily controlled and require additional levels of protection and security. For an individual, having your data used incorrectly, maintained inaccurately, or stolen as part of a data breach can have significant consequences. Our thorough understanding of data protection allows us to support you throughout the process, advising you on your rights, requesting that information is corrected or deleted, and supporting you with a claim if your data has been breached.
