Overview

Data protection

Technological innovation and data usage offer unprecedented possibilities. At the same time, the scope and complexity of privacy and data protection regulations have increased substantially due to, among other things, the arrival of the GDPR. Our Privacy Team helps you to navigate these complex privacy and data rules effectively. To do this, our Privacy Team combines in-depth knowledge of the sector with strategic advice on all the risks surrounding privacy and data compliance, from managing data breaches and handling data subject claims to enforcement by supervisory authorities.

IT & IT Outsourcing

Many technology-related contracts involve so many issues that it is easy to get bogged down in details and therefore overlook important issues. Van Doorne has been assisting organisations when contracting IT, means of communication and other technology for many years.

Expert approach

Developments in the field of information technology are moving ever faster. At the same time, IT is increasingly becoming your organisation’s backbone. The legal issues involved in this context therefore require an expert and diligent approach.
