‘Super responsive in times of crisis. Sound, practical advice with in-depth knowledge of the subject matter.’ ― The Legal 500 (2022)
Data Protection law is a rapidly evolving area and one of increasing importance for all businesses, organisations and government entities that collect, transfer or process sensitive or personally identifiable information. Breaches of information security can be high profile and can damage public trust and confidence.

We also regularly provide due diligence support for transactions and on the negotiation of agreements related to data privacy.
