GDPR Training for Law Firms

We are leading specialists in in-person training and live-online training.

Engaging and effective GDPR training delivered by experts and tailored to your firm.

Most Data Breaches Within Organisations Happen Due to Human Error.

Whether it be gaps in knowledge or a momentary lapse in concentration, more often than not the cause of a data breach is something that could have been easily avoided, That’s why it’s so important that all team members within your law firm not only receive GDPR training when they first join your organisation, but also receive regular refresher training.

PDA Legal specialises in providing expert, relevant GDPR training especially for law firms. Our training covers multiple aspects of GDPR compliance, from understanding data protection principles to how to identify and deal with data breaches or Data Subject Access Requests.

Our training will support your team’s compliance with the latest data protection legislation and SRA regulations in this respect. And, it will help you to provide your clients peace of mind knowing that their personal information is being handled with care.

Typical Topics Covered in Our GDPR Training

We know for certain that no two legal practices are the same and that’s why we tailor all of our training courses specifically and individually to each firm.

Depending upon the requirements of each firm, our GDPR training covers topics including:

What is GDPR and why is it important?
Who is responsible for data protection and complying with the GDPR?
What does the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) say about the GDPR?
How to spot a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) and what to do next.
How to spot a data breach, and what to do next.
Latest best practice
And, if you are a Lexcel or CQS firm; we cover the specifics for compliance and best practice relating to these standards.

We can also provide training with international data protection considerations such as international data transfers and country specific legislation.
