Data Protection

Data protection is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing areas of regulatory compliance that our clients are having to deal with. The pandemic has seen a vast increase in the amount of cyber-attacks on businesses and individuals, and with tight timescales to report such breaches to the ICO, knowing what to do if the worst happens is more important than ever.

Our team provides practical, tailored advice on all aspects of data protection law. We have experience in advising on compliance issues such as documenting data controlling and processing and dealing with requests from data subjects to assisting clients with the legal and regulatory aspects of data breaches and communication with and reporting to the ICO.
