Privacy law

During a time when digitalisation, data sharing and technological innovations are advancing at a rapid pace, privacy takes priority. Organisations are processing more and more personal data, systems are becoming more complex and laws and regulations continue to evolve, increasing the need to process personal data carefully, safely and transparently. Our privacy law lawyers can advise you on creating a way of data processing that is future-proof and legally solid, from compliance, strategy and policy to their practical implementation.

“A solid privacy policy protects not only data, but also your organisation, customers, employees and your reputation.”

Privacy law lawyers

Our privacy law lawyers combine in-depth legal expertise with knowledge of the sectors in which our clients operate. We work for hospitals and other healthcare institutions, municipalities and public organisations, educational institutions, national and international companies, non-profit organisations and other organisations that make extensive use of ICT systems, data and AI applications.

 

Our strength lies in combining our knowledge of data protection legislation, including the GDPR, sector-specific regulations and developments across Europe such the Data Act and the AI Act, with a particular focus on the processing of personal data within your organisation. Our experience with ICT law, cybersecurity, governance and contracting enables us to offer a singular integrated perspective on all issues relating to personal data, data processing, compliance, digitalisation and risk management. We contribute ideas in a strategic manner and provide specific, workable solutions that fit seamlessly with your processes, organisational culture and technological environment.

Privacy law within digital systems and ICT applications

Privacy issues cannot be viewed in isolation from ICT systems and technological innovations. This includes cloud contracts, EHRs, data platforms, HR systems, AI applications, supply chains and international data flows. The deployment of technology offers opportunities such as more efficient processes and better healthcare and services, but also entails risks in terms of security, liability, governance and privacy. Our privacy law lawyers always take into account the latest European laws and regulations, such as the GDPR, the AI Act and the Data Act, and apply them within the context of sector-specific regulations. This accumulated focus at both the European and national levels allows us to advise on the compliant use of technology and data processing within your organisation, providing integrated legal advice that is clear and practical to implement.
