The latest edition of Data Protection: A Practical Guide to UK and EU Law is a comprehensive and hands-on guide to an area of law which is becoming increasingly significant for all organisations. While the editor acknowledges a timing issue with producing the new edition (should they wait until Brexit so that the UK’s legal position with the remaining members of the EU is clearer?), the decision to press ahead with publication in order to address current requirements and concerns resulting from the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is one which many practitioners will be extremely grateful for.

Key features

Data protection is a complex of the law which is undergoing significant change. While many may view the subject matter as being quite dry, they are likely to formulate a different view having read the guide which is well presented, informative and very easy to read.
