Data Protection

Data protection affects almost all businesses. We advise clients across all sectors, providing practical, risk-based guidance that goes beyond simple compliance to deliver real commercial value. Our work ranges from specialist advisory projects to transactional support and ongoing retainers.  We also offer external Data Protection Officer (DPO) services and targeted staff training programmes.

We act for private organisations on all aspects of UK GDPR compliance and wider data protection law, including governance frameworks, policy drafting, complex data sharing arrangements and cross-border data transfer solutions. We guide clients through data-heavy corporate transactions, data privacy due diligence, supply chain risk assessments and tailored contractual drafting

We regularly support clients through regulatory investigations and data protection compensation claims, focusing on outcomes that minimise disruption and protect reputation.  We manage data breach responses, incident investigations and data subject access requests, balancing compliance obligations with operational realities.

Our team also advises on the emerging challenges created by new technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, facial recognition and predictive analytics. We help clients assess and document legitimate interests, carry out data protection impact assessments for novel processing activities, and respond to evolving ICO regulatory requirements with confidence.

Our approach is practical, commercial and sector-aware. We combine technical expertise with an understanding of how our clients operate, ensuring our advice supports both protection of data and business growth. We are well connected internationally with trusted overseas lawyers and advisers.  As a result, we can coordinate advice across jurisdictions to deliver consistent global data protection compliance strategies.

We work with organisations of all sizes, from start-ups to established businesses, in sectors including social media, adtech, insuretech, education, trading, sport, hospitality, property management, luxury brands, private client and the third sector. Clients value our ability to pair technical excellence with commercial insight and a responsive, personal service.
