Rapid technological developments and globalization have brought new challenges for the protection of personal data, as the scale of the collection and sharing of personal data has increased significantly and technology allows private companies to make use of personal data on an unprecedented scale in order to pursue their activities.
This led to an increased awareness regarding the data protection rules, in order to ensure compliance, which culminated with the entry into force of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), starting with May 25th, 2018, applicable to any EU legal entity and/or any non-EU legal entity which collects and processes personal data of EU-citizens.
In order to meet the needs of our clients, we set up a team of lawyers specialized in data protection, especially regarding the implementation of and compliance with the GDPR, regardless of the size of the client’s organization, of it being EU or non-EU based or of the amount/type of personal data collected and processed.
The services include, among others, legal audits related to the compliance with data protection rules, drafting of internal policies and consent forms, as the case may be, to be used in the relationship with employees, clients, suppliers or any other individuals, drafting of privacy and cookie policies to be used for websites and/or mobile-apps, legal assistance in front of courts and/or the competent authorities in matters/disputes concerning data protection, as well as any kind of legal assistance needed for the proper implementation of the GDPR within the client’s organization.
