About

Microsoft’s Irish operation is fundamental to its global success. Starting its first operations in Ireland in 1985 by opening a small manufacturing facility employing just over 100 people, it now hosts several business units in Ireland involving software development and testing, localisation, operations, finance, IT, HR and sales and marketing. Providing legal support for this diversity of operations that span the Europe, Middle East and African regions, the legal team is required to have a multiplicity of knowledge and depth of experiences. Rebecca Radloff is the senior attorney within the team, guiding the team through its support of the information technology giant. Microsoft is frequently at the cutting-edge of technological innovation, and therefore can often push the boundaries of existing legislative and regulatory principles. The Irish legal team worked closely with their US counterparts during a dispute Microsoft entered into with the US government concerning investigators’ access to data centres in Ireland. They were successfully able to argue in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals that the Stored Communications Act was not enforceable as the data was physically located outside of US borders. This landmark case was watched closely by a global audience, and is said to be an important step in the discussions about privacy and data security matters.
