This area covers moving personal data across borders, under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, including transfers to the EEA or other countries. A solicitor advises on lawful transfer mechanisms, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses and binding corporate rules, conducts transfer risk assessments, and drafts or reviews data processing agreements and data transfer addenda. They also guide client data-controllers and processors on accountability, security measures, data subject rights, and cross-border incident response.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
Transfers must comply with specific UK safeguards and ongoing obligations. A solicitor helps identify appropriate transfer mechanisms, assess international data flow risks, negotiate and implement contracts, and ensure data security and incident response duties are embedded in processes and vendor arrangements.
