How Ready is Your Business to Comply with GDPR?

The regulation of data has expanded and is often inconsistent across borders. With the extraterritorial reach of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the risk of non-compliance is even greater than before. Our data protection and privacy experts advise you on how to achieve your strategic business objectives while remaining compliant in a constantly evolving regulatory regime.

We start by carrying out a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the legal aspects of your business where data processing is involved, such as technologies and software, products and services, including outsourced services such as cloud hosting and big data. Based on our review, we provide pragmatic, business-focused legal solutions to the challenges posed by GDPR.
