GDPR & Data Protection

This section of the website contains information for solicitors in relation to your GDPR and data protection obligations. Statutory data protection duties apply to solicitors, as data controllers, in exactly the same manner as they apply to other professionals, individuals and companies processing personal data. The GDPR is relevant to every type of firm, from sole practitioners to the largest firms in the country. The Law Society has created guidance and template documents to assist firms with compliance.
