Data Protection Services

I described the services that I supply generally in IP and technology law in NIPC Law. Here are the services that I offer specifically in data protection, privacy and transborder data flow law.

I advise controllers, data subjects and processors on their rights and obligations under the Data Protection Act 1998 and the Data Protection Directive and their future rights and obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation, the Data Protection Law Enforcement Directive and the Data Protection Bill. I draft complex legal instruments such as contracts relating to the collection, processing, transfer and use of personal data and privacy statements. I also represent clients in proceedings before the courts and the First-tier Tribunal (Information Rights) and the Upper Tribunals.

I have been consulted on data privacy and transborder data flow issues ever since I was an in-house legal advisor to VISA International for Europe, the Middle East and Africa in the early 1980s. I contributed the first chapters on data protection to Atkin’s Court Forms and the Encyclopedia of Forms and Precedents in 1985. I have written about the history of data protection, the right to be forgotten, safe harbour and many other topics. I have spoken extensively on the topic to businesses and local authorities and have appeared as counsel in subject access and other proceedings. Before Schrems v The Data Protection Commissioner I offered to arbitrate in claims by data subjects against US data controllers under the safe harbour scheme. I also comment on data protection laws in the Gulf Cooperation Council states.
