Practice Areas

I am Co-Head of Lewis Silkin's Data, Privacy & Cyber Group. I work in three main areas: data, privacy & cyber, general employment law, and sports law.

I advise some of the world's leading companies on the adoption of global privacy strategies and on the full range of data protection / privacy issues including: data protection & privacy audits; data subject rights requests management; dealing with data breaches and cyber security incidents; extra-EEA / UK data transfers; advising generally on data privacy policies & notices; handling Information Commissioner's Office, and other regulatory queries or investigations; marketing & cookie issues; and, advising both deployers and providers/developers on all things artificial intelligence related.

I hold the CIPP/E data protection & privacy accreditation from the IAPP and have spoken all over the world on data protection & privacy issues. I am also the Expert Chair for the Ius Laboris Data Privacy group.

I deal with all general day-to-day employment queries and have significant expertise in advising on the practical implications of TUPE and on large scale redundancy/dismissal procedures. I am regularly instructed to act for clients in relation to Employment Tribunal and High Court claims. I am also regularly engaged on investigations (both open and legally privileged) for clients about a variety of different issues.

I am part of the Lewis Silkin Sports Group and have a varied practice encompassing many different areas of sports law (with a specialism in data & privacy and employment sports law).
