In an age of increasing privacy concerns, ensuring that personal data is secure and that your business can meet all its legal obligations has become crucial for organisations of all sizes. 

Building solid data protection foundations

The foundation of a strong data protection framework lies in operating an effective strategy, at every level of your organisation, that minimises the opportunities for costly breaches. We work closely with organisations to create tailored policies, procedures and records of processing to help them achieve confidence in their handling of personal data.

An organisation's website is often one of the first places your customers will look to find out more information about you, so it’s important to ensure that it meets the required standards set out in UK data protection law. We’re on hand to work with clients to draft cookie policies and privacy notices, ensuring they meet their legal obligations.

We understand that data is a key asset which needs to be utilised effectively to help you grow. To get the most from their data, we work closely with organisations to assess the data protection risks of new projects and provide practical advice to ensure that project aims are achieved without breaching data protection law.

Responding to data breaches and requests

Recent high-profile breaches, such as the MOVEit hack which allegedly exposed employee data from a number of large UK businesses, have highlighted the urgent need for organisations to ensure the security of the data it holds. Our team can advise on reporting thresholds as well as helping to minimise the potential impact on your reputation and customer trust.

Our data protection and information law solicitors are also well-versed in handling data subject requests and regularly advise on the extended rights afforded to individuals under UK GDPR. We are also experts in handling large complex subject access requests and can advise on all elements of the process.
