Data Protection Services/ Privacy / GDPR
Whether you need a one off compliance review, assistance with a particular data protection issue or ongoing support, our senior lawyers can help you protect your business while continuing to use data effectively.
The UK data protection regime is principally governed by the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025. It regulates how businesses collect, use, share, store and protect personal information and gives individuals important rights in relation to their data. The 2025 Act made a number of changes to the UK data protection framework, with the changes coming into force in stages between 2025 and June 2026.
Keeping on top of these requirements can be challenging, particularly as your business grows, introduces new systems or technology, works with new suppliers, transfers data internationally or prepares for investment or sale.
Clearly Business Law can provide practical, commercially focused advice to help you understand your obligations, manage risk and put appropriate policies, procedures and contractual arrangements in place.
