De mogelijkheid tot misbruik van gevoelige persoonsgegevens heeft wereldwijd aanleiding gegeven tot wet- en regelgeving, die zich voortdurend verder ontwikkelt. Onze advocaten combineren kennis van de techniek en van de ontwikkelingen in diverse sectoren met diepgaand inzicht van de juridische implicaties van de voortdurend veranderende privacywetgeving.
Wij adviseren en procederen over de implicaties van privacy bij grote administratieve projecten en over de implementatie van privacywetgeving in bedrijven en organisaties. Complexe vraagstukken met betrekking tot de tenuitvoerlegging van onder meer de Algemene Verordening Gegevensbescherming beantwoorden wij met een helder en pragmatisch advies. Waar nodig begeleiden we onze cliënten bij onderzoeken door de toezichthoudende autoriteiten (waaronder “dawn raids”), daarop volgende handhavingsprocedures en procederen wij wanneer dat nodig is.
Wij assisteren cliënten bij het melden van datalekken, adviseren over alle vormen van toestemming voor gegevensgebruik en herzien of redigeren verwerkersovereenkomsten en regelingen tussen gezamenlijke verwerkingsverantwoordelijken. Een speerpunt in onze praktijk is advisering over compliance en handhaving bij big data en online- en mobiele dataverzameling.
Onze specialisten op het gebied van (e)privacy en bescherming van persoonsgegevens werken intensief samen om tot de beste oplossingen voor onze cliënten te komen.
Samengevat helpen wij bedrijven en organisaties om zich aan de regels te (blijven) houden en om in te spelen op ontwikkelingen.
Wanneer expertise van andere jurisdicties vereist is, hebben we toegang tot meer dan 150 advocatenkantoren in 100 jurisdicties over de hele wereld.
