Our employment team can advise you on how to protect your people, data assets and customers.
Confidential data is among the most valuable assets for a business today. In the digital era, with increasing regulatory demands and evolving cyber threats, organizations must secure their assets like never before.
Our lawyers can advise on ways to combat external threats such as theft, hacking and commercial espionage − but the biggest threats can come from within. Employees have access to valuable knowledge including customer, financial and strategic business intelligence. Recent years have seen significant growth in disputes around misuse of information and unlawful competition by employees and directors.
In a workplace transformed by new technologies and social media, with a “mobile first” Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) attitude, privacy and cross-border data protection laws add further complexity. We can help you navigate this landscape.
