WHAT WE HELP WITH
Data & Privacy: how we help.
A focused scope built around your plans, the documents involved and the decisions that need to be made.
Privacy notice reviews
Compare public-facing explanations with the information collected and the purposes described by the business.
Data processing agreements
Review the responsibilities and instructions documented between businesses handling personal information.
Vendor arrangements
Consider information access, use and related commitments in contracts with service providers.

WHEN YOU NEED A LAWYER
Common situations we support.
A decision is approaching
Your product handles customer data or a partner is asking how you manage personal information.
The product is moving forward
A launch or feature change creates new customer, contributor or vendor commitments that need to be reviewed together.
A partner asks for documents
A customer, investor or platform requests agreements and records. Identify what exists, what is missing and what needs clarification.
The team or model changes
New contributors, users or revenue streams can expose assumptions in the arrangements made at an earlier stage.
THE DETAIL BEHIND THE DECISION
Understand the bigger picture.
Privacy work should begin with what the business actually does with information. A notice cannot answer questions that have not been considered about collection, use, sharing and retention. We help examine the legal arrangements around those practices, identify gaps in the documents and discuss a practical scope for addressing them with the people responsible for the product and operations.
Who is responsible for implementing the agreed practices?
Legal documents should be supported by operational decisions about access, retention and responding to concerns.

About our firm →FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your questions,
answered.
Can you write a privacy notice without reviewing our practices?
We need an accurate account of how information is handled. Otherwise a notice may describe practices the business does not follow or omit matters that need attention.
Is a privacy policy enough to complete privacy compliance?
A public notice is one part of a wider set of arrangements. The required work depends on the business’s activities and should be assessed in context.
Can you help with a privacy concern or incident?
Describe the concern and any time-sensitive communications without sending sensitive records through the initial form. The firm will assess whether it can assist and agree the next steps.
What should I prepare for the first discussion?
Map the information collected, where it goes, who can access it and why it is needed. Start with an outline; the team will confirm a suitable channel before requesting sensitive documents.
How are scope, fees and timing agreed?
The work depends on the documents, complexity and decisions involved. We discuss the proposed scope, fees and timing before beginning. Work outside the agreed scope is discussed separately; no fixed fee or completion date is promised here.
Does an enquiry mean the firm is acting for me?
No. The firm must assess the enquiry, check whether it can accept instructions and confirm engagement. Please do not send highly confidential information or assume a deadline has been accepted before that confirmation.
Let’s discuss your next step.
