Data Protection & Privacy

Data Protection and Privacy

A good reputation is one of the most valuable assets that an individual or an organisation can possess. We provide a coordinated response to reputational damage or privacy risks that our clients may face. We have a successful track record acting on high profile and controversial matters and understand that our clients need more than just the best legal advice; they need a practical solution.

Our skills in privacy management integrate with our understanding of data protection compliance. Personal information is both an intrinsic part of any organisation’s operations, and of essential value to individuals. We advise both organisations and individuals on their rights, their duties and best practice.

Our team of dedicated lawyers understands the complexity of the changing environment, and the laws and regulations surrounding the collection and disclosure of information. Our main focus is to assist clients in all aspects of data protection law, including audits, design, implementation and on-going support. Our team is also adept in challenging decisions in relation to the collection of evidence, data protection and privacy before the Data Commissioner and the Cyprus Courts.

Starting with the premise that one size does not fit all, we advise clients from a wide range of industries providing practical, comprehensive and expert legal advice that takes into account each client’s individual needs, industry, and areas of operation. We have been entrusted with some of the biggest data protection projects on the island, including the state health insurance service, and international projects for multinational companies.

As the sole Cypriot member of the international employment and pensions law alliance Ius Laboris and as a member of the Data Privacy Expert Group, our team provides clients with first-class legal advice and support on data protection matters in more than 50 countries.
