Privacy and Cybersecurity

We provide our clients with day-to-day counseling and training on data protection compliance, including on-site workshops and tabletop exercises. Our team helps with contractual work and global and Europe-wide privacy audits. We analyze our clients’ existing data protection practices and make recommendations for compliance, helping them to better understand their data processing, map the location and flows of the data, and identify potential threats and compliance issues. We assist in the development and implementation of tailor-made privacy programs, which may include drafting new privacy policies and procedures, notices, and data transfer agreements, as well as advice on security measures to be taken.

Within Europe, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) introduced a sea change in data law, with new principles, concepts, and obligations resulting in many companies needing to revise their personal data processing practices and culture.

We help our clients review their operations to determine GDPR applicability and impact. We conduct internal analyses of their data flows and data protection policies and practices to identify potential gaps or compliance risks and we help them design risk-based compliance frameworks that are tailored to meet their needs.

More information regarding the GDPR is available here.

In case of data or other security breach, we are on-call for our clients until the issues are resolved, from the initial internal investigation stage through the communication, government enforcement, and follow-on litigation stages.

We represent our clients before all the relevant authorities and the Belgian civil and criminal courts. We also defend clients in class action lawsuits.
