Data Protection & Information Law
Rapid technological advancement means that data protection legal practices are constantly changing. Businesses are having to be more careful about collecting, handling and storing data – and how data is available for others.
The Data Protection team at Charles Russell is highly experienced in all aspects of data protection, freedom of information and privacy regulations. Which means we can give you practical advice on everything from data retention and email marketing issues, to the handling of sensitive information and data transfers (including overseas).
We also work closely with our corporate and commercial colleagues to ensure data protection due diligence is met during mergers and acquisitions, outsourcing agreements, or other transfer of undertakings. And we often review the data handling procedures adopted by HR departments, including the standard forms used for applications, references, appraisals and other employment related matters.
Working together we will ensure you are complaint with the latest legislation and not exposing yourself to unnecessary risk.
