We have specialist data protection and information rights lawyers advising on in this complex and fast-moving area of law. We are frequently asked to advise on UK, EU and international data protection matters.

Our work frequently has an international angle.
One of the biggest issues that many businesses face with data protection compliance is a knowledge gap. We have developed specialist training to help your people increase their awareness of the legal issues in these disciplines and how to practically navigate them. We can provide foundation training, (for those with little or no knowledge) or professional training (aimed at those who are in house lawyers or professionally qualified) and intermediate training (being a level between foundation and professional training).
Additionally, if you would like a member of our specialist team to attend an event to present on issues regarding data protection and privacy law or to provide a comment for a publication, please do get in touch with us on enquiries@emwllp.com.

TALK TO US
This acquisition provided an exciting opportunity for Produce Packaging and Innavisions to benefit from their respective strengths and resources. The EMW team supported us very effectively in completing this transaction.
The team at EMW did a fantastic job for us from start to finish, including initial discussions, reviewing options, engaging with all parties involved in the deal, preparing and explaining the thorough legal documentation and addressing any risks or concerns. This was all done within the expected timescales and to the satisfaction of the entire MBO team which has given us a great platform from which to continue the sustainable growth of Darke & Taylor as an owner managed business.
I wholeheartedly recommend EMW to other business owners looking for first class legal advice.
Working with the team at EMW on two recent commercial property acquisitions has been a very reassuring experience for us. Especially their expertise and professionalism in dealing with detailed seller’s special terms and lease provisions.
