Your challenges
Data protection and information security have long been key issues for businesses in sectors such as financial services and direct marketing. Now they are on a much wider range of board room agendas thanks to some high profile data security breaches, the rise of outsourcing and cloud computing and the increasing enforcement powers of the Information Commissioner.
Achieving your ambitions
We can help if you need a new data protection or privacy policy, you need to know what to tell people when you collect their data, you want to transfer personal data to a supplier or group company in another country, or you just need to check whether your company is complying with the UK’s protection legislation. We can tell you how to respond if you receive a request from a data subject or a letter from the Information Commissioner and can enable you to put together lawful direct marketing campaigns.
The strength you need
Our experienced team has worked with clients ranging from early stage web-based businesses to multi-national PLCs on a wide range of data protection issues. We have helped with the transfer of HR data from subsidiaries across Europe to a US parent company, responded to complex subject access requests from disgruntled ex-employees, and managed a data protection compliance audit for a business with offices across the world.
Lawyers you can trust
We not only "know our stuff" but also really enjoy advising on data protection issues. Legal 500 acknowledged in 2009 that “the firm’s ‘enthusiasm for the often neglected area of data protection‘ is greatly appreciated”.
