Privacy and Data Protection Brochure

International Privacy and Data Protection Brochure

Our International Privacy & Data Protection Practice advises on compliance in all jurisdictions in Europe, and beyond.
All of our offices have dedicated privacy & data protection specialists. In other countries, we work on a day-to-day basis with associate firms. We have trusted partner firms in every EU jurisdiction (and in many other jurisdictions worldwide) with whom we routinely work on privacy & data protection compliance projects across Europe and worldwide.

Pragmatic solutions

We can help you deliver your objectives while steering you through a myriad of local differences which continue to complicate the data protection scene worldwide. Our legal advice is accurate, clear, pragmatic and business focused.

We take a hands-on approach, advising not just on the black letter of the law, but also making practical suggestions for clients to consider. We have provided privacy advice for a large number of clients for many years. Because of this, we are able to draw on practical experiences of the ways in which organisations are approaching data protection compliance and to add value to our clients’ businesses.

Our services include:

  • advising on trans-border data flows: preparing trans-border data flow contracts and binding corporate rules;
  • compliance projects;
  • registration with data protection authorities worldwide;
  • handling complaints and advising on prosecutions and offences;
  • training for staff and others;
  • lobbying data protection authorities and legislative bodies.
