Data Protection Law
Practice areaPersonal data play an important part in modern society and business. In an era defined by technological innovation and increased technological awareness with constant processing of personal data as a fact of life, it is essential that both private and public actors ensure that their data processing operations comply with data protection law.
The purpose of data protection law extends beyond merely avoiding sanctions for failure to comply with regulation. It is also about building and maintaining the public's trust and about creating customer loyalty and brand awareness as well as measurable value for our clients.
Data protection law is founded on complex regulation at EU and national levels, including various sector-specific national provisions on the protection of personal data.
Compliance with the extensive regulation governing the processing of personal data requires in-depth expertise and comprehensive understanding of the interplay between regulatory, technical and operational aspects relevant to the processing activities.
Plesner's Data Protection team works closely with Plesner's other teams to help clients understand the complex scenery in the field of data protection.
Our approach combines in-depth legal expertise with a strong business acumen, ensuring that our clients' processing of personal data not only complies with applicable law but also creates measurable value and inspires confidence in the processing of personal data in clients' organisations, internally as well as externally.
We serve as a strong legal and strategic partner, advising on the drafting and implementation of the most complex compliance strategies tailored to meet current and future challenges, and we assist clients in their day-to-day work involving data protection.
