11KBW is a ‘stand-out set’ for data protection law. The ‘outstanding’ Julian Milford KC is advising the HMRC on a claim involving a challenge to the system for the automatic transfer of tax data between the UK and the USA, on the grounds that the system is incompatible with the GDPR and Data Protection Act 1998. In a separate matter, Anya Proops KC, leading Robin Hopkins, acted on behalf of Experian in Experian v ICO, an appeal against an enforcement notice issued by the ICO regarding the company’s data brokering business. Christopher Knight is ’a superstar of the data and privacy world‘, and David Glen ’provides excellent advice that is strategically insightful and delivered in a user-friendly manner‘.
