Privacy & Data

The collection of data about customers, employees, prospects and competitors is something every organisation needs to do. It’s necessary for business operations, but data is also a key asset, and one that can bring significant benefits.

Complying with the law that governs how you use data is a key consideration for businesses, as the UK now adopts a more prescriptive privacy framework than we’ve seen historically.

We take a pragmatic, business-orientated approach to data protection and privacy advice, which seeks to solve issues, not complicate matters. Our team members have extensive experience working with a wide range of organisations from start-ups through to large enterprises and household brands.
