Information Law

Our wealth of expertise underpins our exceptional advisory and advocacy services in matters concerning information law, data protection and AI. We provide top-tier representation and swift matter resolution to government bodies, police forces, businesses, individuals and regulators in critical, complex, and high-profile cases.

Our team stands at the forefront of Information Law, appearing in UK courts and tribunals, from the Supreme Court down, providing innovative and pragmatic counsel in some of the most prominent cases in this area, including the first case to consider the use of facial recognition technology by law enforcement agencies, the Court of Appeal’s decision on the retention of police acquittal data, and a media organisation’s judicial review in respect of information rights exercised against a political party.

We offer outstanding advocacy at all stages and in all scenarios, from time and reputation-critical crisis management to the most complex and high-cost litigation.

Our specialists also regularly advise and provide training in this area, including information sharing between public bodies and the impact of the GDPR. Our monthly bulletin, the Data Brief, can be found here.

Many members of our information law, data protection and AI team can accept instructions directly from companies or members of the public via Direct Access.
