Joanna de Fonseka

I am a Legal Director in Lewis Silkin's Data, Privacy & Cyber team, where I advise leading multinational organisations across a range of industries on data, privacy and cyber issues.

I assist clients with a wide variety of data and privacy compliance matters including general compliance strategy, audits and assessments; online advertising, direct marketing and cookies; data sharing and data processing arrangements; privacy policy/privacy notice reviews; international data transfers; and privacy-related aspects of new technologies, products and services. In addition, I regularly assist clients with contentious data and privacy work, including data breaches, data subject requests and complaints, and regulatory investigations. I also advise clients on AI governance and strategy and the data privacy aspects of implementing AI solutions.

I hold the IAPP CIPP/E data protection certification, and regularly speak at events and conferences on data and privacy issues.
