BV Partners Law Firm provides up-to-date legal support in data protection and compliance matters, with full regard to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as well as sector-specific regulations.

Our experienced specialist lawyers not only provide advice, but also participate in the establishment, operation and review of data protection and compliance systems, thereby helping our clients achieve lawful and risk-free operation.

Data protection and compliance – from expectation to competitive advantage

In the digital era, data protection is not only a legal obligation, but also a tool for building trust and a competitive advantage.

Improper data processing may result in substantial fines, reputational risk and loss of clients.

The aim of BV Partners is to ensure that our clients’ data processing and internal operational practices are transparent, lawful and auditable, thereby ensuring compliance and business stability.

Our services in detail

GDPR-focused process review

During the comprehensive review of data processing activities, our law firm performs the following:

• mapping data processing processes,

• reviewing legal bases and purposes of data processing,

• ensuring the enforcement of data subjects’ rights,

• checking the adequacy of data security measures.

As a result of the review, we propose the necessary modifications or the introduction of new procedures.

Data protection audit and implementation

For our clients, we conduct a full GDPR audit, which identifies risks and deficiencies, and then assist in remedying them:

• preparation of an audit report,

• updating internal policies,

• supporting practical implementation and training staff,

• repeated review to follow up on the changes.

Review and preparation of internal regulations

The basis of data protection compliance is appropriate internal regulation. Our law firm undertakes:

• the preparation of data protection policies and notices, for example in the case of client notices, camera surveillance and cookie handling,

• the review of conflict of interest and codes of ethics,

• the legal review and updating of existing policies.

Data protection and compliance advisory

In day-to-day operations, questions frequently arise that require an immediate, professionally substantiated answer. Our law firm provides fast and precise advice:

• on data processing issues arising upon the introduction of a new service,

• on the handling of incidents (e.g. a data protection incident or an authority inspection),

• on the preparation of complaint-handling or investigation procedures.

Representation in conflict of interest matters

Conflict of interest situations may arise especially for actors in the public, financial or non-profit sectors, which may have serious legal and reputational consequences. Our law firm assists in:

• ensuring legal compliance,

• preparing declarations and internal policies,

• providing legal representation in authority proceedings.

Handling of confidential information

The protection of confidential information forms part of data protection compliance, but it also requires separate regulation. BV Partners assists in the handling of such types of data through:

• establishing internal access rules,

• preparing non-disclosure agreements (NDAs),

• recording in contract the obligations of outsourced service providers (e.g. IT, HR).
