We hope you are able to join us for this webinar as we venture into the fast-evolving world of data privacy litigation in the UK and EU. Our panellists will be discussing trends both in regulatory enforcement disputes and in civil litigation arising out of data privacy matters, including the growth of group litigation in this area. Attendees can then choose to attend one of our breakout sessions on either litigation related to data breaches or transparency & consent-related disputes.

This webinar is relevant for in-house counsel responsible for litigation and/or data privacy in companies across all sectors, as well as data privacy officers.

Along with our Bird & Bird speakers, we are delighted to be joined by external experts Rupert Paines, (Barrister, 11KBW), Stephen O’Dowd (Senior Director, Harbour Litigation Funding) and Mariano Delli Santi (Legal & Policy Officer, Open Rights Group).

Regulatory enforcement and litigation
This discussion will focus on trends in regulatory enforcement including target areas, penalties of note and drivers.
We will also discuss the pros and cons to challenging enforcement decisions and the best approach to doing so.

The rise of privacy-related court actions
In this part of the discussion we will explore why we are seeing more privacy-related disputes and what these look like.
This will include a discussion about the growing volume of group litigation actions across Europe.

17:05 - 17:45 Breakout sessions
 
There are two areas in particular where we are seeing a rise in contentious data privacy. The first of these is in a post data breach scenario. And the second is where complaints are raised in relation to an organisation’s transparency and consent practices.
 
In the breakout sessions our experts will share insights into how best to approach litigation in these contexts.
