Few businesses can claim that they do not, in some form, process regulated information about individuals. In addition to computerised data, information recorded on paper files, film or video tape, audio tape and microfiche are all potentially covered by these regulations. Keeping valuable information secure whilst also complying with potential data access obligations are examples of just some of the critical challenges facing those with operations in the UK and/or Europe.

Osborne Clarke’s Privacy and Data protection team takes the headache out of resolving security issues, offering up-to-date, clear advice that is relevant to your specific business.

We offer specialist privacy advice and audit services for a wide range of national and international businesses. Our team includes individuals with a wide range of skills who provide sector-focused data protection advice. Team members co-wrote 'The Data Protection Act Explained' (published by the Stationery Office), a leading text on this subject, as well as co-editing privacy focused publications including Data Protection Law and Policy.

Our experts operate across our network of international offices and alliances, and so unlike many law firms, we are able to offer you a genuine global solution to data protection, privacy and technology security issues.
