Data protection, privacy and cybersecurity

Dentons

The team at Dentons comprises a ‘really smart bunch of practical advisors’ who take a ‘methodical and deliberate approach to tackling their work’. London-based Simon Elliott acts as the head of data privacy and cybersecurity for the UK, Ireland and the Middle East, exemplifying firm’s cross-border focus. Antonis Patrikios is noted for his ‘timely and pragmatic’ responses to both cybersecurity incidents and advisory issues. Nick Graham, the department’s founding partner, remains an active presence, assisting with international data transfers and adtech matters, as well as developing the AI piece. The group’s client roster includes a growing swathe of notable data and technology players, and is testament to particular strength in these fields. Of counsel Kuan Hon is another crucial member of the team; she is a member of the UK government’s International Data Transfer Expert Council.
