Data Protection and Compliance

Since the new European Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the significant increase in fines to up to EUR 20 million or 4% of global annual turnover, risk awareness in the area of data protection has increased significantly. Every company that processes personal data in the European Union (EU) must in many cases comply with the GDPR even if it has no registered office or branch office within the EU.

Data Protection Compliance GDPR

Procedure

Within the scope of a detailed stocktaking, we analyse the relevant data processing processes and data flows in the different business areas of our clients and check where there is still need for action in order to meet the requirements of the GDPR and to avoid liability risks. We are familiar with a wide range of industries and know the specifics of many sectors from numerous international GDPR compliance projects.

With one of the largest international teams of data protection law specialists in Europe, we advise on complex data protection projects just as efficiently as on individual questions of contract drafting and the development of new, data-driven business models.

With practicable solutions, we help to reconcile the often-difficult balance between data protection compliance and the business interests of our clients. 

Thanks to our many years of practice, we have excellent contacts with the supervisory authorities. Our team of experts is familiar with the legal concerns and expectations of the authorities and focuses its advice on the key issues.
