Data Protection

Increasingly, businesses and organisations rely on information. Personal data processing takes place whenever data about customers, employees or contractual partners are handled. New technologies and services are data-centred. In-depth knowledge about data processing regulations is essential to ensure compliance with rules, protect user privacy and achieve business goals. Cloud computing, social networking and cross-border sales trigger new data processing concerns. Our experienced team is prepared to guide you through this complex area of the law.

We advise local and international companies on all aspects of data protection and privacy matters. We have experience in data protection issues in all sectors, including in the financial, insurance, healthcare, pharmaceutical, telecoms, online and retail industries. We are also experts in protecting employee data (video and internet surveillance, e-mail and phone usage).
