Experience

I am an Associate in the Data & Privacy department at Bates Wells. I advise on a variety of data protection compliance matters from ad-hoc standalone queries to long term compliance projects.

Highlights
  • I have assisted a variety of clients on a range of topics including assessments of the applicability of the GDPR, data sharing and data processing agreements, international data transfers, data protection policies, privacy notices and other documentation.
  • I have assisted on complex and highly sensitive matters concerning data subject rights requests and have experience acting for requestors and organisations.
  • Advised a leading UK charity on its international data sharing of sensitive data with its overseas bases. This required a network of data sharing agreements and transfer risk assessments (including human rights research).
  • Assisted clients to undertake internal investigations in compliance with UK data protection laws.
  • Delivered client training on data subject access requests and the processing of personal data in investigations.
  • I have assisted a national charity on its processing of children’s personal data.
