About

Provided by Trench Rossi Watanabe

In a constantly changing world, data is increasingly valuable, and the way your company manages it creates strategic advantages. Brazil has approved a new legal framework for personal data protection, with significant impacts on all companies handling data in the country.

Internal HR processes, as well as the management of personal data of consumers, customers, and suppliers, must adapt to these rules, including adequate security measures, access control, processing records, impact reports, and updates to policies and contracts.

Our privacy practice has a highly qualified team to support your company in navigating privacy and data protection. Our lawyers have extensive experience assisting national and multinational companies in data audits, privacy compliance projects (including GDPR), development of data protection strategies, structuring privacy policies, risk assessment, and drafting contracts with suppliers, service providers, and customers. We also have solid experience in data breach events, including notifications to authorities in Brazil and other jurisdictions.

As a full-service firm, our compliance programs consider industry-specific aspects as well as other legal areas, such as Labor, Consumer, and Tax. We can help structure your company to avoid unnecessary risks and remain agile to focus on what you do best: innovate.
