Our next free webinar for LDE members is being presented by Helen Cookson. This is an hour-long introduction to GDPR with a particular focus on understanding the key requirements and demystifying the core principles of data protection.  Helen will look at the steps which organisations are expected to be taking to prepare for the implementation of the GDPR in May 2018 and help you understand some of the common pitfalls so that you can focus your action plan to most effect.

Helen is a senior associate in Trowers & Hamlins LLP’ Privacy and Information Law group, and also works within our Employment Team.   Helen advises public, third and private sector clients with a particular focus on social care clients and advises on a range of data protection, privacy, and freedom of information issues with a particular focus on the issues which most often arise in relation to employees, including subject access requests and data sharing.  She is a very experienced seminar speaker and often provides training on data protection issues.  In particular, she is one of the team leading on helping our clients gear up for the GDPR with the aim of taking a practical approach to the new law.

The 2018 edition of the Legal 500 (North West Employment) notes that she “is adept at advising on data protection issues linked to employment”.
