Brexit & Data – A view from the UK and the EU

Brexit will change the data protection framework in the UK and create challenges for flows of personal data between the EU and the UK. Tanguy Van Overstraeten, global head of our privacy practice, and Richard Cumbley, global head of our technology practice, share their thoughts from Brussels and London. The discussion addresses:

• the status of UK data protection laws post-Brexit;
• the prospects for an “adequacy finding” for the UK; and
• the steps you need to take to ensure data transfers are not disrupted post-Brexit.
