I am known for my expertise in workplace privacy having practiced internationally as an employment lawyer prior to joining Lewis Silkin. I manage complicated employee data subject rights requests (DSARs) and support clients during UK and European regulatory investigations (such as ICO investigations and dawn raids). I am frequently asked to advise on UK and European employee monitoring rules.

I lead data protection support for Lewis Silkin’s M&A practice providing timely and practical advice at all stages of a transaction lifecycle. I also run post-transaction remediation projects in respect of data protection warranties and undertakings.

Examples of my recent work include:

• Acting as lead UK/European data protection lawyer for a US headquartered technology company advising on all aspects of data protection law including risk assessments covering multiple AI products under development.
• Providing strategic advice to a global car manufacturer during a high profile data protection dispute with a departing executive.
• Advising one of the UK’s largest newspapers following a significant and potentially high-profile data breach.
• Acting as lead external data protection counsel for one of the UK and Ireland’s largest retailers.
• Providing strategic GDPR rights advice to two of the world’s most prestigious fashion houses.
