Privacy Law

In a digital and data-driven economy, privacy is both a legal obligation and a competitive advantage. At HGNLW, I help companies of all sizes navigate complex data protection rules, mitigate regulatory risks, and build trust with users and stakeholders.

  • Privacy compliance isn’t just about checking boxes — privacy compliance it’s about building trust and enabling responsible growth. I support you with:

    • Developing tailored data protection programs aligned with your business model and sector.

    • Drafting and maintaining Records of Processing Activities (ROPA) that are scalable and audit-ready.

    • Defining and documenting technical and organizational measures (TOMs) to secure personal data.

    • Conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) and Transfer Impact Assessments (TIAs).

    • Structuring and reviewing international data transfers — from SCCs and BCRs to vendor onboarding.

    • Designing cross-border compliance strategies for multinational organizations.

    • Advising on the implementation of data protection management systems (DPMS) that integrate with your operations.

  • Effective privacy management requires more than policies — it needs seamless integration into daily workflows. I help you with:

    • Drafting and negotiating data protection agreements, including data processing agreements.

    • Setting up internal role and access concepts that reflect real-world responsibilities.

    • Advising on data subject requests (DSARs) with efficient, scalable processes.

    • Reviewing and adapting data protection in connection with employment law

    • Delivering targeted employee trainings to build awareness and reduce risk.

  • Your products and campaigns should win users — not trigger audits. I support you in embedding privacy from the ground up:

    • Reviewing digital products, platforms, and features to ensure Privacy by Design and by Default.

    • Structuring consent flows and cookie banners.

    • Vetting third-party tools.

    • Developing data processing strategies for advertising, analytics, and growth initiatives.

    • Advising on lawful bases for processing, including balancing tests for legitimate interest.

  • When the heat is on — a breach, a fine, a regulator at the door — you need calm, strategic support. I help you with:

    • Representing your business in regulatory investigations, audits, and administrative proceedings.

    • Breach notification processes from start to finish.

    • Communicating with supervisory authorities — proactively or defensively — to manage exposure.

    • Defending your company in proceedings, including damages claims by data subjects.

    • Designing prevention strategies and internal remediation plans after a privacy incident.
