Our privacy and cybersecurity colleagues have offered some guidance on data privacy compliance considerations for UK companies and their business partners in the wake of the United Kingdom’s referendum decision to leave the European Union. In their LawFlash (UK Data Privacy Laws in a Post-Brexit World), partners Pulina Whitaker, Matthew Howse, Mark Krotoski, Reece Hirsch, and Gregory Parks explain the current status of and potential for post-Brexit modifications to data privacy standards that govern UK businesses, including those with broader European connections. The piece particularly emphasizes the standards relating to cross-border data transfers and data breach reporting obligations.
Our Brexit Resource Centre will continue to provide guidance on the legal and business implications of the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the union. To view alerts, and to gain immediate access to our most recent guidance on Brexit, please visit the Morgan Lewis Brexit Resource Centre.
