How LegalVision Can Help

Experienced Data, Privacy and IT Lawyers

Data sits across almost every part of an established business, from customer relationships and employee records to software platforms, suppliers and internal systems. As your business grows, decisions about how that data is collected, shared and used become more difficult to separate from commercial decisions.

A new market, acquisition or technology rollout can introduce new suppliers, systems and data flows across the business. Taking advice before those arrangements are implemented gives you more scope to structure them properly, allocate responsibility and address privacy requirements in the underlying contracts.

Our data protection solicitors work with businesses on both ongoing compliance and significant technology projects. We advise on privacy notices, data processing agreements, employee privacy notices and internal data practices, alongside software licensing, SaaS arrangements and IT services agreements. Where an incident or data request arises, we also advise on the business response and the contractual issues that follow.

Examples of when businesses come to us:

  • a new software platform is being procured, and the proposed terms leave important questions about customer data, security and exit rights unresolved
  • customer or employee information has been disclosed unexpectedly, and management needs to determine the scope and immediate response
  • the business is expanding its use of external providers and existing privacy notices and data processing agreements no longer reflect its operations

Our expertise

  • Privacy compliance and data governance: We assess how your business collects, uses, stores and shares personal data, then advise on privacy frameworks and internal practices that reflect your operations and commercial priorities.
  • Privacy notices and data processing arrangements: We draft and review privacy notices, employee privacy notices, data processing agreements and related documentation so responsibilities are clear across customers, employees, suppliers and service providers.
  • Data incidents and individual rights: We advise on data breaches, access requests and other privacy issues as they arise, including how to assess the position, coordinate the response and manage related contractual obligations.
  • Software and technology contracts: We draft, review and negotiate SaaS agreements, software licence agreements, development agreements and other technology contracts, including data use, intellectual property, service levels, liability and termination.
  • IT procurement and technology projects: We advise on managed services agreements, cloud arrangements, IT supply contracts and technology procurement so your business can assess supplier obligations, operational dependencies and exit arrangements before committing.

Our Services

Data and Privacy

We can assist you with issues relating to data security, data breaches, personal data collection, use and disclosure of Personal Identifiable Information (PII). We can also draft key contracts and documents such as Privacy Notices, Website Terms of Use, Sales Terms and Conditions, End Use Licence Agreements and Marketplace Terms and Conditions.

Software

Our IT lawyers can advise on all legal aspects of launching software to market. We can assist with drafting and reviewing SaaS Agreements (Software as a Service) and Software Licence Agreements. In situations where disputes arise, we can assist you in resolving them.

Information Technology

We can draft and review IT Reseller Agreements, Master IT Services Agreements and Managed Services Agreements. Our lawyers have extensive experience in advising software companies, developers and IT enterprise companies.

“Technology contracts and privacy compliance should be considered together, because the way a system handles data often determines the contractual position. We advise technology companies, established SMEs and in-house teams on privacy frameworks, data processing agreements, software contracts and data incidents. Our clients return as their systems, suppliers and data practices change. Good data governance should support commercial decisions rather than follow them.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a data protection solicitor do?

A data protection solicitor advises businesses on how they collect, use and share personal data. LegalVision’s solicitors can help with privacy notices, data processing agreements, employee data, subject access requests, data incidents and technology contracts with privacy implications.

Can LegalVision help with privacy notices?

Yes. Our data protection solicitors can prepare privacy notices, cookie policies and internal data protection policies that reflect how your business actually uses personal data, drafted with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act in mind.

Can LegalVision help with data processing agreements?

Yes. Our solicitors can help with data processing agreements between controllers and processors, and data sharing agreements between businesses. They can also negotiate data protection terms with suppliers such as software, payroll and marketing providers.

When should we get advice on software or SaaS contracts?

Many businesses get advice before signing, renewing or materially changing a technology service. LegalVision’s solicitors can help with service levels, data handling, IP, liability, pricing, termination and transition, so the position is clear before you depend on the technology.

How does LegalVision advise on data, privacy and IT matters?

Matters usually start with the commercial arrangement, data flows and technology involved. Depending on the issue, our solicitors can help with privacy documents, software or IT agreements, incidents or access requests, linking privacy and technology issues where they overlap.

Why choose LegalVision’s data, privacy and IT solicitors?

Our solicitors work with SaaS businesses, online retailers, marketing agencies and professional services firms that rely on data every day. Fixed fees give you cost certainty, and quick turnarounds help when a subject access request, incident or contract deadline is running.
