Based in London, Erica has experience in a wide range of data privacy issues arising under GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and related laws, including the adoption of new technologies and novel data processing, large scale multi-jurisdictional data compliance reviews, cybersecurity and multi-jurisdictional data breach incidents, corporate transactions, data sharing, data export/transfer and direct marketing compliance.
