Data Protection & Privacy

If there is one concern that all business actors and private individuals share nowadays, its name surely is Privacy. While many view new privacy regulations and tougher enforcement as barriers to innovation and threats to future growth models, we believe there is much to be gained from proactively adopting and implementing best practices in data protection and privacy and from fostering a culture of compliance.

Some industries and practices, particularly in the digital space, might pose particularly difficult problems of legal qualification and compliance. Whatever the industry or the size of businesses involved, we have developed one of the leading national practices in this the field and are well positioned to assist and advise our clients in approaching compliance with the applicable regulations at national or European levels. If anything goes wrong, our experienced privacy litigation team can help you defend your position vis-a-vis the regulator, private individuals or business partners.
