Legal advice and support
Protection and support with our data protection law firm
If you need advice on a complex privacy question, support with dealing with a personal data breach, or assistance with drafting and negotiating data processing agreements, our legal advice team can help.
We work through the legal complexities to give definitive advice that allows your organisation to move forward with confidence.
Mitigate reputational risk
Our legal team advises global clients on their privacy strategies and keeps you ahead of regulatory change. We provide nuanced advice, which takes account of data protection authorities’ enforcement focus and the ever-changing legislative landscape.
Our proactive legal team will help you manage your legal, regulatory and operational data protection risks.
Reassuring data protection law advice
Data protection and new technologies
- We integrate data protection into systems and project lifecycles from the outset. If you are developing, implementing or using new technologies, such as a new app, implementing a new AI project or devising your own proprietary technology, we provide legal input to avoid costly redesigns or non-compliance.
Advice for marketing teams
- We help marketing teams align commercial goals with privacy compliance. Whether reviewing third-party data lists, advising on analytics tools like Google Analytics, ensuring cookie notices match actual practices, or assessing the risks of AI adoption.
Individual or regulatory compliants
- We act on your behalf if alerted to a data breach or if you have received a complaint from individuals or regulators regarding your use of personal data. We help identify, assess and manage the risks stemming from breach incidents and mitigate the effects on your organisation and those whose personal data has been compromised.
Across border data sharing
- We navigate the complexity of legal requirements when sharing personal data, especially across borders. We help define your data sharing strategy, draft contracts and transfer assessments, train teams on due diligence, and secure authorisations like Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) to ensure compliance and minimise legal and reputational risk.
Scaling organisations
- We support growing organisations, institutional investors, venture capital companies and private equity firms through the acquisition process. We identify and mitigate privacy and data-related risks that could impact a target company’s value, operations, or legal standing.
