An EU Representative is a non-UK organisation that processes EU resident data and must appoint a representative in the UK under the UK GDPR. A solicitor in this area drafts and reviews the representative agreement, defines the duties imposed on the UK representative, prepares data protection documentation, coordinates with the Information Commissioner’s Office, and handles data breach notices, data subject access requests, or regulatory inquiries. They ensure ongoing compliance, accountability, and clear communication between the data subjects, the controller outside the UK, and UK authorities.
Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor
A solicitor provides the professional framework, including drafting the representation arrangement, regulatory liaison, and ensuring a compliant accountability structure with insured, regulated practice. They help prepare the necessary records and notices to avoid missteps that could expose the client to regulatory risk.
