Data protection, GDPR and cyber security solicitors

Data protection compliance support

It is vital to have the right systems and processes in place to ensure compliance with data protection laws and to retain customer confidence that your business is handling their data in a secure manner.

If you receive a subject access request, face a data breach or need to improve your policies and procedures and do not have the capacity in-house, you may require a solicitor to assist you.

Approach

Commercial lawyers for data protection

Our commercially-focused and pragmatic approach to data protection ensures that your policies and procedures are fully compliant with current regulations.

We frequently work with data protection officers, directors and managers in organisations of all types and sizes, supporting them with the drafting of policies and procedures through to dealing with subject access requests and data breaches.

We can assist your organisation in outlining, developing and implementing documentation, including policies, procedures, file structures and data flows, that are tailored to your specific requirements. By ensuring that you adopt a forward-thinking approach to data management and cybersecurity, we can help to protect you from the consequences of non-compliance and minimise the risks to you and your business.

In addition to our advice and support, we can also provide bespoke training programmes to educate your in-house teams, enabling the self-resolution of day-to-day issues to reduce your long-term costs.

Our training courses are designed to be as accessible as possible, so we can carry out the sessions either on-site at your offices or remotely depending on individual circumstances.

Alongside providing training for data handling members of staff, we also run regular training seminars that provide a detailed review of the impact of GDPR for organisations’ senior management teams.

In addition to providing ad-hoc advice, we offer a fixed-fee data protection support package, further details of which can be found here.

Experience

GDPR and data protection compliance

Our experience of dealing with data protection matters has taught us that these issues are not going to go away.

Employees and the public are becoming more aware of their rights and contractual provisions concerning data protection, which is proving to be more onerous. In regularly dealing with regulators, we have gained detailed knowledge of their approach to compliance and, through hosting tailored training sessions, can help to ‘demystify’ the data protection landscape.

Our commercial solicitors have advised on cyber issues for over 20 years and are widely recognised as experts by our clients.

We have significant experience in assisting with various GDPR contracts, including data sharing agreements and data processing agreements, as well as advising on the use of cookies and drafting cookie policies.

We are noted for our strategic data protection compliance advice and policy drafting across a broad range of industry sectors, working with clients from large PLCs, SMEs and family businesses, through to the governors and trustees of a wide range of educational establishments.
