This area covers disputes about personal data and privacy under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, including breaches, misuse of information, privacy notices, and regulatory investigations. A solicitor in privacy litigation acts for organisations or individuals, seeking or defending claims over data handling, disclosure, and rights to access or restrict processing. They manage pleadings, disclosure, expert evidence on data crimes, and remedies such as injunctions, damages, or corrective orders, guiding clients through court or tribunal procedures.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor handles the precise rules on data processing, breach notification, disclosure, and cross-border data transfers, and coordinates with the Information Commissioner's Office, regulators, and information security experts to prove or defend liability, protect confidential information, and manage any injunctive or remedial steps within the civil procedure framework.
