The European Union is currently during a comprehensive reform of data protection, aiming to “give citizens back control over their personal data, and to simplify the regulatory environment for business,” and to create a Digital Single Market with the same data protection rules across the EU. A new version of the European Commission’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will soon be coming into effect.

The GDPR applies to all organizations established in the EU that process personal data, but also to organizations outside the EU that are offer goods or services to people in the EU, or monitor the behavior of people within the EU (e.g., online tracking). Thus, a great number of North American organizations will fall with the regulation’s scope.

Our international, multidisciplinary professionals provide the GDPR advisory you need, wherever you need it. We offer a comprehensive introduction to the GDPR, designed to enable delegates to understand how to implement the regulation.
