GDPR & Data Protection
Greystone Solicitors provides expert legal advice on data protection law, helping clients meet their compliance obligations in a clear, effective, and practical way.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), introduced on 25 May 2018, places strict requirements on how organisations handle personal data. Ensuring compliance is essential, as failure to do so can result in penalties of up to €20 million or 4% of annual worldwide turnover—whichever is greater.

Legal advice on what GDPR means for your organisation
Understanding how data protection applies to your activities is the starting point for managing personal information responsibly. We assess your organisation’s use of data, explain the relevant legal considerations and help you identify practical priorities for improving your approach to compliance.
Compliance with GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018
Data protection compliance needs to reflect how your organisation collects, uses and shares personal information. We review your arrangements against relevant requirements, identify areas needing attention and provide practical advice on addressing gaps within your policies, documentation and day-to-day working practices.
Implementing processes and systems to comply with data laws
Good data protection practices depend on processes that staff can follow consistently. We advise on procedures for collecting, accessing, sharing and retaining personal information, helping you translate legal requirements into workable internal arrangements and identify where additional safeguards may be needed.
Data Subject Access Request procedures handling requests responses complaints and enforcement
Requests for personal information can require careful searches and sensitive decisions about disclosure. We advise on handling subject access requests, preparing responses and managing related complaints or regulatory enquiries, helping your organisation assess the issues and follow an organised, documented process.
Drafting Data Protection Policies Privacy Notices Website Privacy Policies and Data Retention Policies
Clear documentation helps people understand your use of personal information and guides staff in handling it. We draft and review privacy notices, data protection policies and retention policies, tailoring the content to your activities and the audiences who need to use it.
Assisting with data breach issues including reporting
A suspected data breach calls for a prompt, organised response. We advise on assessing the incident, documenting decisions and considering reporting or notification obligations, helping your organisation manage the legal aspects of the response and identify appropriate steps following the incident.
Advising on electronic marketing in compliance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations
Email, text and other electronic marketing activities need careful consideration of privacy requirements. We review your proposed campaigns, consent arrangements and opt-out processes, helping you understand relevant rules and put practical procedures in place for managing contact details and marketing preferences.
Updating Employment Contracts to include Privacy Notices for all employees workers and contractors
Workforce privacy information should clearly explain how personal data is handled throughout the working relationship. We review employment documentation and prepare or update accompanying privacy notices for employees, workers and contractors, helping align the wording with your organisation’s actual practices.
HR Advice linked to GDPR and Data Protection
HR teams routinely handle sensitive information about applicants and staff. We advise on recruitment records, personnel files, monitoring and information sharing, helping you consider data protection issues within everyday employment decisions and establish suitable arrangements for access, retention and confidentiality.
