Why choose our Privacy solicitors?
The firm has 60 specialist experts spread across our international offices, including Dublin, offering seamless cross-border advice. The Privacy Team provides a range of services to assist clients in meeting their obligations under data protection legislation particularly regarding compliance with GDPR and ePrivacy. Such services include drafting and reviewing data protection policies, drafting and negotiating data processing agreements and advising in respect of data breaches and cross-border processing.

Additionally, the Privacy Team advises on freedom of information requests. Our experience in this area includes drafting standard operating procedures, internal decisions and
submissions to the Office of the Information Commission and the provision of FOI training to decision makers.
