GDPR & Privacy Compliance

Advising on complex privacy issues for data-rich businesses

The advent of the GDPR era had colossal implications for businesses. But even as companies adjust to emerging privacy norms, the landscape continues to change. Sudden fractures (Schrems II) and slow, kaleidoscopic shifts (post-Brexit divergence, new global frameworks), characterise this complex area.
