Our Privacy & Data team has grown dramatically in recent years and operates across London, Thames Valley (Reading), Birmingham, Milton Keynes and Leeds. The team remains very busy with both UK and international work, and has ambitious plans for further expansion. Many of the team’s clients have significant in-house teams, and the work can at times require detailed subject-matter knowledge and experience. In addition to general advisory and transactional services, we have established platforms for data breach response services, data protection audits and compliance programmes, and outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) services.
The team sits within the national Commercial Practice Group which also contains TMT, Commercial contracts, IP, Financial Services and Projects & Infrastructure teams. We also work closely alongside our colleagues in employment, corporate and other complementary practice areas. We are proud to have a number of leading individuals within our ranks. We are in the top tier of Legal 500 for most of our practice areas, although our intention is to have top rankings across the board.
As a firm we are collaborative and genuinely work along national lines. This means you work with the support of a national infrastructure around you but have scope to show enterprise and innovate in your own practice and your local office.
We have long been advising clients at the increasingly porous frontier between content and technology. Our specialist knowledge and extensive experience includes dealing with the full spectrum of partner and collaborative relationships in the digital world, be they 'white label' web-service arrangements, content licensing or drafting the terms of APIs to allow other digital platforms and online media providers to openly interface with services and content. It is a genuine one-stop-shop with a growing client base across the country. |
