how we can help you
Data protection solutions for your business
All businesses handle personal data – but not all are equipped to protect it. Our data protection solicitors offer practical, commercially focused data privacy advice to help you safeguard information, minimise risk, and meet your legal obligations.
Whatever issues you are facing, our experts are likely to have encountered them before. Our team has advised clients on data protection law for many years, bringing extensive experience across multiple sectors. Matthew Cole, who leads the team, holds the CIPP/E (Certified Information Privacy Professional Europe) qualification and has particular expertise in acting for businesses in the BioTech sector.
We also regularly advise clients in the financial services, healthcare, and logistics industries.
Some of the businesses we support already have established data protection teams, headed by a Data Protection Officer (DPO) or Data Protection Manager, and seek our help to stay updated on legal developments, provide input on new projects, and assist with data breaches.
Others have data protection responsibilities managed within Human Resources or another function, without a dedicated specialist. In these cases, we can act as their outsourced DPO, providing full ongoing support and guidance.
We tailor our services to suit your organisation’s specific requirements – whether through a monthly retainer, a fixed-price project, or ad hoc legal advice on a traditional hourly rate.
Prevention is better than cure
When it comes to data protection, proactive measures are far more effective – and far less costly – than reacting after a breach or complaint. Investing in your data protection compliance framework, implementing clear policies, and conducting regular audits not only helps prevent incidents but also demonstrates accountability to regulators, your clients and customers, as well as your employees.
Our experts work with your business to identify vulnerabilities before they become liabilities, ensuring your data practices are resilient, lawful, and aligned with the UK data protection framework. With a blend of legal expertise and hands-on experience, we deliver solutions that are both practical and compliant – providing continuity between legal advice and implementation, something not always found among other data protection providers.
