Data Protection & Information Law

About

Provided by Herbert Smith Freehills

Our data practice is comprised of a team of leading experts in the field of data protection and cyber security. We pride ourselves on being a cross-practice, cross-sector and cross-border team, bringing together the right experts to provide the advice that our clients need.

Depending on the matter and the advice sought, our team works seamlessly with a number of our practice areas globally, including TMT, employment, competition, IP, procurement, public law and litigation. Many data and cyber issues are global in nature, so this approach enables us to advise holistically, where and when that is required.

We cover the full range of data protection, privacy and associated matters, including advising on data protection compliance, privacy, subject access requests, employee monitoring and surveillance, data breaches, data retention and disputes. The team also advises across the full cyber security lifecycle, including before-the-event risk management and consultancy work, incident response and the cyber aspects of corporate transactions and projects.

We benefit from a range of contentious and non-contentious mandates from clients across various sectors. This ensures we have a breadth and depth of knowledge that forms a strong basis to provide knowledgeable and pragmatic advice. Our team also has extensive experience of assessing and managing privacy risks in relation to the implementation of new and/or potentially intrusive data processing activities.
