We are a specialist, market-leading team with international coverage, including offices in Europe, China and the USA (Silicon Valley), and a unique expertise gained over years of advising on business-critical global privacy and data protection projects and technology work. We advise clients across the whole spectrum of data privacy and data security law: from large, multinational blue-chip clients through to disruptive start-ups designing for compliance on a limited budget. Our clients come from all possible industries and sectors: from digital media, technology and cloud businesses through to retail, financial services, professional services and healthcare. Through our Silicon Valley footprint, we also have a particularly strong relationship with leading brand US-led technology companies operating in Europe.

Commercial and Product: We work with some of the largest and most sophisticated companies in the world on commercial and product-related data protection work. We guide clients to achieve their commercial and product-oriented goals in a way that provides effective protection for individuals' data. 3. Cyber and crisis-management: Recent legislation has introduced new requirements for reporting cyber security incidents to both regulators and to affected individuals.

Strong interpersonal and client relationship skills An ability to work independently and manage large projects with minimal partner supervision.
