Our specialist international team can advise on all the legal issues you might face, in particular guidance on complex regulatory issues, GDPR compliance, digital marketing, disputes, as well as consumer issues, IP and broader digitalisation and commercial projects. Recent key legal and regulatory developments on which we advise include the new Package Travel Directive, the Payment Services Directive and EU Regulation 261, as well as wide-ranging employment and tax issues.

We offer truly seamless international advice, with subject matter experts located across Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, and we draw upon the wider expertise of our Aviation, Retail & Consumer, and Tech & Comms experts to help get you to the right commercial outcome.
