New technologies offer a world of possibilities. At the era of cloud computing, geolocation and behavioural advertising, privacy and data protection laws constitute a necessary constraint. This poses new challenges to businesses, be it make the most of these opportunities, whilst ensuring adequate compliance.

NautaDutilh's Benelux privacy and data protection team can assist you in this challenge. 

Global and multidisciplinary approach

At NautaDutilh, we consider privacy and data protection as one of the aspects of our clients' global compliance policy. Not only do we provide efficient and to the point guidance to our clients, we also place our services in the broader context of general compliance at group level.

That is why a multidisciplinary approach is required to provide effective and efficient advice. Advising on the protection of personal data within banks cannot be done efficiently without a thorough understanding of applicable banking regulations. Likewise, monitoring of employees cannot be implemented without taking into account - beside privacy and data protection regulations - often complex employment rules.

Our team, based in Amsterdam, Brussels and Luxembourg, makes it a priority to co-operate with specialists from various practice areas - as well as with law firms in other jurisdictions - so as to offer our clients a global approach, focused on the result.
