Privacy & Data

We help organisations build practical privacy and data governance that works across products, vendors, international operations and incident response.

How we help

Advice designed for the way the business actually operates.

Privacy programmes fail when they exist only as policies. We work from the data flows, products and business processes that create legal obligations, then design governance that teams can apply in ordinary work. This includes product development, marketing, HR, analytics, AI, procurement and customer operations.

Our teams advise on GDPR compliance, controller and processor roles, legitimate interests, consent, transparency, data subject rights, retention and accountability. For international businesses, we structure transfer mechanisms and assess the practical safeguards required when data moves across borders.

Product privacy is a major part of our work. We review new features, analytics tools, identity systems and AI functionality before launch, translating legal requirements into concrete decisions on collection, purpose, access, retention and user communication.

When an incident occurs, we help clients establish facts, preserve privilege, coordinate technical and legal teams, assess notification duties and manage communications with regulators, customers and affected individuals.

How we run matters

Start with data reality

We map what is collected, why it is used, where it goes and who can access it.

Make ownership explicit

Each recurring privacy decision has a business owner, legal rule and evidence trail.

Design for change

Processes are built so new vendors, markets and product features can be assessed without rebuilding the programme.

Representative experience

Representative matter

Created a privacy operating model for a multi-market platform covering product reviews, vendor onboarding, international transfers, retention, AI use cases and a 72-hour incident response workflow.

Cross-border delivery

Lexbridge teams coordinate matters through our offices in Berlin, London, Brussels, Bratislava, Prague, Amsterdam and Dublin. Where local law advice is required outside our own coverage, we instruct specialist local counsel while retaining a single Lexbridge lead for scope, communication and delivery.

That structure gives clients one accountable team without pretending that complex cross-border work can be reduced to a single jurisdiction. It also allows legal advice to stay aligned with commercial timelines, product launches and board decisions.

“The useful answer is not only what the law says. It is what the business should do next, who should own it and what evidence should remain.”
