Nathan Soulie

I work as a Counsel in our Intellectual Property and Data Protection groups.

I support our clients in structuring and securing innovative data-driven projects, whether the data is personal or not.

My expertise covers the entire data lifecycle, from collection to valuation. I advise on the evaluation of the applicable legal framework for projects, negotiate licensing or co-ownership agreements, draft intra-group agreements, and structure complex contractual arrangements. I have a particular focus on issues related to databases and artificial intelligence, with a special emphasis on intellectual property concerns.

In addition, I assist companies in achieving compliance with personal data protection regulations. This includes conducting audits, defining and implementing action plans, setting up compliance tools (impact assessments, privacy policies, internal procedures, etc.), and managing data subject rights, including handling complaints. I primarily work with clients in the retail and sports sectors, particularly on projects related to point-of-sale digitalization and omnichannel activation.

I also regularly work on secondment with Bird & Bird Privacy Solutions, where I take on Data Protection Officer (DPO) assignments.
