Data and technology
Data protection, technology contracts and the rules that govern how a business uses information.
What we advise on
- Data protection and privacy
- Technology and outsourcing contracts
- Regulatory questions
Data protection and privacy
Every business holds information about people — customers, employees, suppliers. We advise on what may be collected, how it may be used and shared, and what to do when something goes wrong.
Technology and outsourcing contracts
Software, systems and outsourced services sit at the centre of most businesses. We negotiate and review the contracts that govern them, with attention to service levels, liability, ownership of data and the means of leaving the arrangement.
Regulatory questions
The rules on information and technology continue to change. We help businesses understand which obligations apply to them and what those obligations require in practice.
How we work
Questions of data and technology are often technical, but the advice should not be. A partner leads each matter and explains the position in terms a board can act on.
We advise in proportion to the risk. Not every question needs a long memorandum; some need a clear answer and a sensible next step.
Data questions arise in transactions, in employment and in disputes. Colleagues from those chapters work alongside us on Chancery Lane, so the advice is given once and consistently.
