Global Data Protection Laws
Our clients operate around the world, which requires global guidance that allows them to move data and develop governance programs in compliance with international privacy laws.
Since the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect in 2018, there has been a notable shift in how countries around the world regulate and protect personal data. Today, more than 160 countries have established data protection laws and regulations, reflecting a growing awareness of the importance of privacy.
Our Privacy & Security lawyers have extensive experience assisting companies in navigating complex data protection laws worldwide. With the support of a trusted network of local legal experts, we help clients assess their data practices and align them with regulatory requirements across jurisdictions. Taking a pragmatic approach, we develop global data governance programs that can be adapted to specific regions as needed, ensuring compliance while minimizing business disruptions.
