So after two years of build-up, the GDPR is actually here and will be enforceable from Friday (25th May 2018) – are you ready?

If not, don’t worry, our lawyers are still on hand to help you get GDPR compliant.  From drafting or reviewing privacy notices to training your staff, we can assist with all aspects of GDPR compliance.

It’s much more likely that the ICO will be tougher on those who have not made any attempts to bring their practices up to date, so even if you’re behind schedule it’s important to keep going and get compliant as soon as possible.
