The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into effect on 25 May. Our data protection team examines what companies could be doing even now to move further towards compliance as well as the longer-term issues they should be considering once GDPR is in force.

In this episode, data protection partners Jane Finlayson-Brown and Nigel Parker join Charlotte Mullarkey, PSL Counsel, and David Smith, A&O’s special adviser for data protection and a former Deputy Data Protection Commissioner at the UK ICO, to discuss a broad range of topics including the potential impact of the new enforcement regime, how to set data protection priorities and what a good privacy programme should look like.
