Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) cover transfers of personal data from the UK to a data importer in a country outside the UK or EEA, where safeguards are needed. A solicitor drafts, reviews or negotiates the SCCs, checks that roles of data controller and processor are clear, ensures required data protection clauses are included, and advises on supplementary measures if the destination country lacks adequate protections. They also assess risk, data subject rights, breach responses and ongoing compliance obligations tied to the transfer.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor explains the provisions, data flow, and transfer safeguards; identifies where UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, or UK adequacy decisions apply; and outlines practical steps for keeping the transfer compliant, including supplementary measures and documentation, so a business can manage cross-border data flows with confidence.
