An overview of our Employment and Immigration services within the financial services sector.
May 2023 will mark five years since the GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 came into force. But all that good work your business undertook in preparation will go to waste if you don’t revisit your current data protection practices, procedures, and policies. Find out more on CB Data Protection training.
Fundamentally, digital assets are the possessions you access on a digital device. These assets are normally stored online and accessed via a personal online account run by a third-party provider. How should you manage these assets?
It is increasingly important for individuals to understand how crypto assets are taxed, both in life and on death, and ensure the consideration of crypto assets in succession planning.
What are NFTs? How are NFTs taxed during an individual’s lifetime and subsequently on death? How can we ensure access for attorneys and personal representatives whilst guaranteeing security for these high-value assets?
The choice of attorney and informing them of your wishes is particularly vital when considering digital assets. The pertinency of this is increased with more valuable assets such as cryptocurrency.
There are a number of key policies, procedures and documents your business should keep up to date, to be both legally protected and in preparation for investment or exit. Our team will give your business a full check-over.
Despite the introduction of the GDPR, data protection compliance doesn’t seem to have been the highest priority for property agents. However, agents would do well to undertake regular reviews of their policies and procedures, particularly if this has not been done since Brexit.
