All solicitors store personal data, their colleagues, their clients, and also other contacts associating with their clients. If someone can be identified from the information you hold on them, it is personal data. Alongside this, data protection is also an important aspect of running a law firm effectively as it gives clients the guarantee that their information is being gathered, processed, and also transferred securely. As a result, information is very important for organisations of all sizes, from a tiny start-up to an international empire.
All practitioners within the legal field must recognise data protection principles, client rights and related regulatory duties with colleagues in their legal practice as well as their clients. Understanding GDPR as a legal professional is so important because there are a number of requirements that need to be complied with. A failure to comply with these GDPR requirements could lead to enforcement action, with the possibility of a fining up to 4% of global turnover or £17.5 million.
To ensure all legal practitioners are aware of the GDPR requirements, legal training provider Datalaw has created a Comprehensive GDPR Bundle that includes all the GDPR learning principles that you will need. In this bundle there are the most up-to-date courses from expert speakers, providing fundamental knowledge, practical guidance to stay ahead with GDPR, and the latest developments in GDPR to help you become fully compliant and avoid GDPR breach fines.
You will be able to learn the basic principles relating to the GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA) and their importance in underpinning the more detailed rules. Alongside this, you would learn the main definitions and outcomes in the GDPR, including personal data, special category data, lawful bases for processing and the key concept behind those points including data protection principles, client rights, and related regulatory duties. Furthermore, you will also learn the key issues to watch out for such as the security and breach requirements that need to be put in place and who is responsible for dealing with requests from data subjects.
Overall, this bundle will be ideal for practitioners with prior experience with GDPR and those with no previous knowledge. It will provide knowledge and practical guidance to minimise any future data protection risks and will ensure you are fully compliant with the most recent updates to GDPR in 2022.
