General Data Protection Regulation

Winstead’s Data Privacy Practice Group assists multinational companies in their General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance efforts. 

Our proficiency in GDPR and other data privacy regulations, understanding of complex industries, and our experience in tackling projects of the size and scope of a GDPR vendor compliance initiative, allows us to effectively counsel and manage our clients’ GDPR contractual compliance programs.

Our services include analyzing our client’s relationships with vendors and business partners that involve the processing of personal data and then preparing agreements or addenda necessary to protect our client’s rights and ensure that those relationships are structured in a manner that will comply with the GDPR.  We also provide counseling on general GDPR compliance matters, cross-border data transfers, and GDPR-specific provisions in commercial agreements.  Our team can help you build and execute a strategy to bring your policies, processes, and contracts into compliance with the GDPR in a manner that is repeatable and defensible to regulators.

Search Tips:

You may use the wildcard symbol (*) as a root expander.  A search for "anti*" will find not only "anti", but also "anti-trust", "antique", etc.

Entering two terms together in a search field will behave as though an "OR" is being used.  For example, entering "Antique Motorcars" as a Client Name search will find results with either word in the Client Name.

Operators

AND and OR may be used in a search.  Note: they must be capitalized, e.g., "Project AND Finance." 

The + and - sign operators may be used.  The + sign indicates that the term immediately following is required, while the - sign indicates to omit results that contain that term. E.g., "+real -estate" says results must have "real" but not "estate".

To perform an exact phrase search, surround your search phrase with quotation marks.  For example, "Project Finance".

Searches are not case sensitive.
