This work area covers how Brexit affects data protection and cross‑border information flows under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. It also covers the ongoing relationship with the EU’s data rules, including transfers from the UK to the EEA and the mechanisms used to safeguard personal data after Brexit. A solicitor advises on compliance programmes, data processing agreements, data subject rights, breach response, and interactions with the ICO. They help organisations plan for changes in regulatory expectations and transfer strategies.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor handles UK GDPR requirements, Data Protection Act 2018 provisions, transfer mechanisms such as SCCs, DPIAs, and data breach notification, plus ongoing liaison with the Information Commissioner’s Office. They translate evolving post‑Brexit rules into practical policies, contract terms, and governance. They also assess cross‑border data transfer risks and ensure lawful processing under updated UK frameworks.
