GDPR Essentials for Law Firms
Designed specifically for employees working in law firms.
Why is this training needed?
Our team of expert barristers has created a bespoke course on the essentials of data protection, aimed specifically at employees within law firms, to enable you to avoid simple data breach errors and to meet the ICO’s annual training requirements.
Any employee – solicitor or support staff – who is not properly trained in the requirements of data protection could land your practice in hot water, leaving you facing fines, with reputational damage, or even criminal charges.
There is no doubt that the continually developing data protection requirements have increased the pressure on legal practices to ensure that the vast amount of sensitive personal data in your hands is properly used, stored and safeguarded.
Our course helps you to avoid investigation from ICO and regulatory bodies by ensuring that team members at all levels are properly equipped to understand and meet legally required compliance standards quickly and easily.
