Data Protection

Patrick is a Partner in the Data Protection group. He is a highly experienced data protection expert with specialist knowledge across the Film & TV and Betting & Gaming sectors. He helps clients understand how data protection applies to their businesses and the most effective way to solve their privacy issues. He prides himself on providing commercially focused advice to clients and explaining complicated matters in a clear, jargon-free way. Whether you are a new business or an established multinational, you will need to consider GDPR and other data legislation. Patrick has advised on almost every aspect of data protection, from conducting audits to acting as the DPO for a FTSE 250 company. Patrick's Film & TV experience means that he understands the lifecycle of a production and the data protection issues that will arise – such as appropriate wording in a Casting Director’s agreement or collecting health data of talent for the purposes of obtaining production insurance. On the Betting & Gaming side, he works closely with our market leading gambling team and understands the regulatory obligations that operators face and how data protection fits into licensing requirements.
