Data protection and privacy

Managing customer, supplier and employee data is a major risk issue for businesses, as governments, regulators, professional bodies and consumers become increasingly vigilant about how data is captured, processed and transferred. This provides a particular problem for multi-national businesses, which must comply with a raft of local laws and regulations. Our international team of data protection and privacy specialists works extensively with major international companies in managing this risk, in both the on-line and off-line environments.
