UK GDPR Solicitors and Data Protection Lawyers
At Richard Nelson LLP, our experienced data protection solicitors and UK GDPR lawyers provide expert legal advice and support to businesses, charities and public sector organisations navigating UK GDPR and wider data protection obligations. Whether you’re responding to a data breach, reviewing your data protection policies, or looking for long-term compliance strategies, our data protection law firm can help.
What is the UK GDPR, and why is it important?
The UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the UK’s core data protection law. It sets out how organisations must collect, use and store personal data, from employee records to customer databases. The UK GDPR is enforced by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), and non-compliance can lead to significant fines, reputational harm and legal action.
But compliance with the law isn’t just a legal obligation; it’s also an opportunity to build trust. Transparent data practices can strengthen your brand, improve internal processes and show customers that you take privacy seriously. Our UKGDPR solicitors help you turn these requirements into practical protections for your business.
