We defend the data rights of businesses and individuals.

Our specialist team can guide you through privacy and data protection issues at every stage, whether you need an end-to-end GDPR compliance project, strategic guidance on launching a new AI tool, or are looking to start or defend a data protection claim. We also offer outsourced DPO as a service, cybersecurity incident response, UK & EU Representative services as well as support with the business or personal impact of data protection breaches.

We advise our clients on how best to achieve their strategic objectives while complying with an evolving regulatory regime. For organisations, we assess and help fix gaps in compliance, resolve incidents and repair reputations. For private clients we identify the most effective ways to exercise and enforce their rights.

We're proud of our multi-disciplinary group, which enables us to cover the full spectrum of support and ensure you're never on your own if you need urgent support with a data protection issue.
