Data Protection & Privacy

Personal data has become an important global currency, with which the processing and transferring of personal data in a secure and lawful manner has become even more important and challenging for businesses globally. Not only because of the severe sanctions on non-compliance under the GDPR (up to 20 million euro or 4% of the annual worldwide turnover), but also because of its ever expanding character.

Therefore, being able to adequately communicate with the authorities, handle complaints from individuals, and defend your case in the context of an investigation should be an indispensable part of your business strategy.

We are able to draw on our experience and hands-on approach which allows us to not only advise our clients on the letter of the law, but also enables us to add value to our client’s business through providing practical data protection and privacy strategies.
