GDPR & Data Protection Lawyers

As technology has advanced in recent years data, and specifically personal data, has become a central component of the vast majority of businesses. At the same time, a more strictly regulated legal framework has developed around privacy and data protection. Regardless of size or location, businesses must ensure they are collecting, storing and using individuals’ personal data lawfully. Whilst it may seem onerous, good practice with regard to data privacy is, and will continue to be, crucial for your business from both a regulatory and reputational perspective, and strong compliance can certainly give you a competitive advantage.

Make an enquiry Compliance as a competitive advantage

Since the coronavirus pandemic, many businesses have implemented hybrid working procedures, adding another layer of complexity when it comes to securing personal data and preventing breaches.

If you are uncertain of the current compliance position of your business or think there may be areas of data security still to be addressed and improved, you need advisers who can devise a practical and effective compliance strategy for your business now and in the future.

Our Data Protection team support businesses across a wide range of industries in ensuring compliance with data protection legislation, including the GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.

We offer a range of services, including:

  • An assessment of your business to evaluate your current policies and procedures and identify any GDPR compliance requirements;
  • Helping you to create and implement a pragmatic compliance programme, tailored specifically to your business and aligned with your commercial objectives;
  • If a data breach does occur, or if you receive a data subject access request, our DSAR and breach response support will assist you in dealing with the incident swiftly and efficiently, ensuring the least possible disruption to your business and your clients; and
  • Providing GDPR training to staff and/or management to ensure that data protection issues and potential issues can be recognised and dealt with before they become major challenges to your business.
