Data Protection, Privacy & Cybersecurity

Our advisory work spans data governance, cross-border data transfers, artificial intelligence, healthcare and financial sector privacy, cloud and vendor arrangements, and the management of employee and consumer data. When incidents occur, our dedicated response team works closely with forensic experts to investigate breaches, manage mandatory regulatory notifications, guide crisis communications, and mitigate reputational damage. We also represent clients in regulatory investigations, enforcement proceedings, litigation, and cross-border enforcement actions. Beyond compliance, we support clients in mergers, acquisitions, and financing transactions where data security is a material risk, conducting data protection due diligence and advising on post-transaction integration. From start-ups building secure digital products to multinationals managing global data flows, we deliver practical, innovative, and future-focused counsel at every stage of the business lifecycle.
