Data Protection
Data protection issues are increasingly common and the issues raised by ownership, use and sharing of customer and prospect data are often central to many of our clients' activities with third parties. In particular, the protection, use and processing of personal data is a critical compliance issue for many clients and we regularly advise on UK and EU data protection compliance issues as well as compliance issues relating to international transfers of data overseas.
