Overview

Since the GDPR was enacted in April of 2016 we have had the honor of helping dozens of companies comply with the new regulation.  This has given us a unique perspective.  We have handled GDPR related questions that impact 2,685+ brick-and-mortar retail locations, 2,200+ hotels, and some of the most important social media platforms, financial service providers, data analytics companies, hardware and parts distributors, pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, non-profit organizations, and academic publishers.  In other words, we have had the opportunity to approach the GDPR from a variety of different perspectives and hear the questions and concerns of clients that live in vastly different industries.

In order to help clients and practitioners come into compliance with the GDPR, we have created a six-part, six-hour training on how to comply with the GDPR.  The training focuses on the most common (and most confusing, in some cases) areas of compliance and is designed to allow compliance officers, and lawyers, to get up to speed on an individual compliance topic quickly and easily.

EMEA- Data Privacy, Digital and AI Round Up 2024/2025

As expected in the data privacy and digital space, 2024 shaped up to be a year full of guidance, consultations, regulatory focus areas and legislative updates. Artificial Intelligence (AI) remained a hot topic with advertising technology (AdTech) closely following its heels. With the blizzard of global data protection developments continuing unabated in 2024 with no doubt more to come in 2025, it is a good moment to look back at what 2024 held for businesses as well as to consider what 2025 may hold in the EMEA region.
