Managing – and monetising – huge volumes of data in compliance with an ever-expanding bank of rules in a vigorous enforcement climate is complex. Data is also a significant component in the design of new products and services, making it a valuable asset requiring protection.

Our data protection team has its finger on the pulse of this rapidly developing area of law. We support clients in safeguarding their business and opening up regulation-compliant opportunities.

We devise individually-tailored data protection strategies and tools, conduct data protection impact assessments, provide preventative assistance and crisis management for data breaches, and represent clients in investigations and litigation before data protection authorities and national and EU courts.

We advise on international data transfers and on projects involving new technologies and cloud-based services, including the use of personal data for artificial intelligence and machine learning. We help you implement privacy by design into your new and innovative initiatives and apply our data licensing expertise to help leverage value from your investments.

Regulatory scrutiny of data often incorporates consumer protection, employment, competition and intellectual property elements: our experts cover all these angles, ensuring that you receive comprehensive solutions.
