Privacy, Security and Information

Our clients face significant challenges as they navigate advances in technology, growing digitisation and a complex and costly regulatory landscape. However, the fuel of the world’s technological revolution is not just technology itself: it is data.

To maintain trust, individuals, businesses and government institutions must ensure that their data uses are fair, lawful, proportionate and accountable – or face the consequences.

Why choose our Privacy, Security and Information lawyers?

Our Privacy, Security and Information team aligns itself across three broad privacy pillars:

1. Operational Compliance: We advise our clients on policies, procedures and practices to ensure their operational processes are compliant with data protection requirements. We can also advise on the wide range of practical and strategic implications presented by operational compliance issues.

2. Commercial and Product: We work with some of the largest and most sophisticated companies in the world on commercial and product - related data protection work. This means we can guide clients to achieve their commercial and product-oriented goals in a way that provides effective protection for individuals’ data.

3. Cyber and crisis-management: Recent legislation has introduced new requirements for reporting cyber security incidents to both regulators and to affected individuals. At the same time, it has removed barriers for individuals making requests to access significant volumes of data. We can help our clients prepare for these risks and mitigate for them as and when they arise.
