Data protection has become a critical business issue.

Organisations are collecting, processing and storing more information than ever before, while operating in an increasingly complex regulatory environment. At the same time, customers, employees, commercial partners and regulators rightly expect organisations to demonstrate strong standards of governance, transparency and accountability.

Effective data protection management and procedures are about far more than compliance.   They are also crucial to protecting your reputation, maintaining trust, reducing risk and supporting the long-term success of your business.

Our specialist team provides practical, commercially focused advice to organisations seeking to navigate the challenges of data protection, privacy and information governance with confidence.

We can help your organisation by providing tailored support that reflects your specific needs – whether you are embarking on a review of your compliance framework for data that you currently hold, implementing a new technology or data project, managing international data transfers, or handling contentious subject access requests.  We can also assist in ensuring that your use of data for marketing initiatives complies with the applicable legal landscape.

By taking time to understand how data is used throughout your business, we help ensure that legal obligations are addressed in a way that supports your operational and commercial objectives. Our advice is clear, proportionate and focused on helping you to navigate the requirements of data protection law.

We advise organisations across a broad range of sectors and provide support on all aspects of data protection law, including UK GDPR compliance reviews, data protection health checks, privacy notices, consents and policies, data processing and data sharing agreements, dealing with employee/individual data requests and complaints, international data transfers, direct marketing compliance, data breach management, regulatory investigations, governance frameworks (including CCTV), and staff training.

We are also experienced in advising clients on responding to enquiries and investigations from the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Since GDPR came into force in 2018, many organisations have made significant investments in data protection compliance. However, changing technologies, evolving guidance, changes to your business operations and new ways of working mean that policies and procedures can quickly become outdated. Regular reviews are essential to ensure that your approach remains effective and fit for purpose.

As trusted advisors, our role extends beyond identifying legal risks. We work with clients to develop practical solutions that protect valuable information, support business objectives and provide confidence in an increasingly data-driven world.

For more than 150 years, clients have trusted our team to provide clear, commercially focused legal advice. Today, we continue to help organisations protect their interests, strengthen governance and navigate an evolving data protection landscape.
