Data Protection
Personal data is one of the most valuable assets an organisation can have. Our data protection lawyers advise extensively on the commercial exploitation of personal data, as well as its protection and use under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). This specialist service positions us as one of the leading regional data protection law firms.
We assist with the UK, European, and global information, and data activities of a number of UK and overseas data controllers providing them with a wide range of advice on achieving compliance, dealing with data-related disputes and subject access requests (SARs), and responding to personal data breaches.
