Information Law

Data is becoming an increasingly vital resource and asset for organisations across sectors.  As technology races to provide solutions to issues we didn’t know we had, individuals become more aware of their own right to privacy and the choices available to them, and threat actors develop new and more sophisticated means of attack, it’s vital that organisations understand their legal obligations, and their individual risk profile.

Our dedicated team are specialists in information law, privacy and confidentiality, and advise on all aspects of compliance with data protection, access to information regimes (Freedom of Information, Environmental Information Regulations and Access to Health Records), common law confidentiality and the right to privacy. The team all advise a mix of public and private sector clients, to ensure that examples of best practice and innovation within a particular sector can be shared where relevant.  We also take the time to understand the context in which our client is working, so that our advice is pragmatic, commercial, and focussed to achieve the best possible outcome in terms of compliance and strategic goals.
