General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Overview

Our experienced attorneys assist businesses in understanding and complying with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements, minimizing the risk of substantial penalties and reputational damage.

We help clients assess their data processing activities, implement privacy by design, and update policies and procedures to meet GDPR standards. Our team provides strategic advice on data subject rights management, cross-border data transfers, and data protection officer (DPO) appointments, ensuring compliance with all aspects of the regulation.

Since the adoption of GDPR in 2018, our attorneys have been ensuring clients develop policies and procedures that comply with GDPR regulations, reviewing privacy policies, data security and use agreements, marketing consent processes, cookie consent applications, and data use reporting guidelines. Our expertise includes preparing GDPR-compliant policies and procedures, negotiating GDPR contract language, and handling incident response and reporting. Our firm can help your business maintain compliance in the EU, foster trust with its customers, and succeed in an increasingly regulated global marketplace.
