Data, digital assets and AI solicitors

Turning information into a controlled asset

For most organisations, legacy systems, fragmented data governance, rising cyber threats, the evolving use of AI, and a regulatory environment built around the GDPR, all require careful handling and more planning than ever before.

The way information is used can impact every corner of your organisation, from core business systems, CRM and cloud platforms through to AI decision‑making, analytics and digital IP.

Whether you’re procuring or building new tech, scaling data‑driven services, deploying AI, collaborating with partners or responding to scrutiny about how information is used and protected, our data team can help.

We ensure that data and digital arrangements support your strategy, remain resilient under challenge and can adapt as technology and regulation evolve.

How our data, digital assets and AI solicitors can help

We advise across a variety of data‑driven projects. We help design governance frameworks around AI and automated decision‑making, combining the new flexibility introduced by the Data (Use and Access) Act with safeguards on transparency, human oversight and challenge rights.

Where digital assets or smart contracts are involved, we align contractual terms, IP, data rights and regulatory expectations, so innovative models remain enforceable and defensible. Throughout we show you what the real risk points are, how to manage them and where being an early tech adopter could pay off.

GDPR and UK data protection

GDPR and UK data protection remain the backbone of lawful data use. Recent reforms, including the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, have shifted how legitimate interests, automated decision‑making and data subject rights work in practice, while leaving core principles, including fairness, transparency, security and accountability, firmly in place.

We help organisations update policies, records of processing, carry out Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) and complaints or Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) handling, to reflect the new requirements. By designing mandatory data complaints processes and responding to regulatory requirements, we ensure your documentation tells a coherent story if practices are challenged.

Our work in this sector means we know what good looks like, and we can help senior leaders understand how to make GDPR compliance part of everyday governance rather than an occasional task.
