Get help with regulatory compliance
The GDPR sets new standards for privacy and personal data.
In May 2018, a new European Union (EU) privacy regulation went into effect with broad reaching implications for law firms around the world. The regulation, called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), introduced new requirements on privacy, security, and compliance for organizations that offer goods and services to European Union (EU) residents.
- Enhanced personal privacy rights
- Increased duty for protecting data
- Mandatory breach reporting
- Significant penalties for non-compliance
GDPR: Not just Europe.
The GDPR applies more broadly than many people think. The law imposes new rules on law firms, government agencies, non-profits, and other organizations that offer goods and services to people in EU or that collect and analyze data tied to EU residents — no matter where they are in the world.
GDPR is applicable to law firms of all sizes and practice areas.
