Data and privacy
Data is an invaluable commodity that is increasingly regulated by governments seeking to protect citizens from its misuse.

Our data and privacy lawyers offer services ranging from legal advice and representation, to training and capacity building.
Our experience includes:

- mandatory breach notifications
- training materials and templates

These issues touch every sector and company via websites, YouTube channels, Facebook pages, Instagram and TikTok accounts, for marketing purposes to untapped commercialisation opportunities.

We help design strategies and lead negotiations on all aspects of transactions involving both legacy and emerging technologies.
Our experience includes:
