Our data protection experts proactively identify and fix gaps in your practises. If you suffer a breach, we’re on-hand to react by minimising its impact and guiding you through.
We provide the commercial, practical and innovative advice you need on all aspects of data including privacy, data protection, security, crisis management and confidentiality.
Our team includes Data Protection Practitioners and senior commercial solicitors who understand your operating environment and regulatory drivers.
With our ability to read, interpret and use market intelligence and feedback from regulators, we'll ensure that the advice you receive is accurate and fit for purpose.
We take time to understand how and why you collect and use personal data. We then help you to implement appropriate notices and privacy policies to ensure that you collect personal data correctly and transparently before tailoring appropriate clauses in your commercial agreements that relate to the processing and sharing of personal data.
We also advise on and prepare other internal data protection policies and procedures to address matters such as your record keeping and day-to-day compliance requirements.

“As a global (and continuously growing) company, we recognise the importance of ensuring GDPR compliance. We instructed Sara Ludlam at Brabners to prepare a set of internal GDPR/data protection documents that could be rolled out across the group and invited Sara to our London office to host an in-person GDPR training course... an interactive session with plenty of opportunities for Q&A. We particularly appreciated Sara’s efforts to make the training bespoke, with a focus on the key issues we face as consultants (especially on the appropriate handling of CVs). A complex topic but Sara did a great job of keeping everyone engaged. Thank you.”
