Erik Valgaeren was a panelist at the Symposium on Policy Impediments to eCrime Data Exchange in Barcelona

Seminar - Erik Valgaeren, Partner TMT, and his team organize a seminar which focuses on the interaction between GDPR and litigation, corporate law, administrative law and employment law.

Speaking slot - The discussion topic will cover various legal aspects relating to data lifecycle management, both for personal and non personal data. These aspects will include rights in and obligations regarding data, such retention obligations and portability rights. Practical suggestions on holistic data management and the role of the chief data officer will be debated.

Short Reads - A Brexit without a deal, or with a deal that does not cover all relevant aspects, is still a potential scenario. We have highlighted a number of unexpected legal consequences of Brexit in such a no deal or incomplete deal scenario.

Short Reads - As it stands, the UK will exit the European Union at midnight on 29 March 2019. Therefore, businesses within the UK, or with trade relations with the UK, would be best advised to assume that a no-deal Brexit is inevitable. The exchange of personal data  within the EU is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In a no-deal Brexit, the GDPR will cease to be applicable in the UK upon its EU exit.
