Data Protection Compliance

IT/TMT/Data Protection

Leading Law provides strategic legal advice on IT/TMT and regulatory matters, including advice on licensing agreements, software contracts, cybersecurity and IT products and services. Leading Law assists major players in the technology and telecoms sectors in civil court proceedings, and supports clients in complying with regulatory obligations and in negotiating and finalising contracts related to their activities. The firm’s multidisciplinary advice is therefore able to offer highly innovative, tailored solutions and to understand sector business models, together with the opportunities and critical issues linked to technological evolution. Leading Law assists individuals, companies and public bodies on the protection and processing of personal data. In particular, the firm analyses data processing activities carried out by the client and performs data protection impact assessments (DPIAs). Based on the results of that analysis and after assessing the risk profiles, we assist clients in drafting, integrating and reviewing privacy documentation (with periodically scheduled audits) needed to comply with the applicable law, with particular reference to the drafting of privacy notices under art. 13 GDPR, data processing agreements, joint controller arrangements, appointments of external data processors, as well as any DPO appointments and authorisation deeds under art. 29 GDPR. Leading Law supports the client in developing an organisational model with specific data processing procedures, in line with the principles of privacy by design and by default. Our professionals also regularly act as Data Protection Officers. Leading Law also assists clients in proceedings before the Italian Data Protection Authority and the courts.
