Overview
COLPs and COFAs need to stay on top of all their legal and regulatory obligations. This includes responsibilities in relation to data protection. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is coming into effect in the UK on 25 May 2018. It will herald changes affecting all European organisations that handle personal data, including law firms. The potential penalties are severe and as such failure is not an option.
Learning objectives
- Understand the new legal framework with discussions around the key changes
