What are the implications of the UK’s decision to withdraw from the EU on the international movement of data through the UK? In this session, international privacy law experts from McDermott Will & Emery LLP in the UK, Germany, and the US will examine Brexit’s implications for multinationals that store or process data in the UK, or are considering doing so. The session will look in particular at what Brexit might mean for international data flows, including how it might affect the prospects for the EU-US Privacy Shield, and its ramifications on the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which heightens existing data protection standards and is due to take effect in May 2018.  

Topics to be addressed include: 

  • The possible outcomes of Brexit
  • What each outcome could mean for data protection regulation
  • How Brexit might be affected by political developments
  • Some sensible steps that businesses should consider taking now to position themselves for whatever the future might hold

 Who should attend:

  • Lawyers advising multinationals on data transfers and compliance with global privacy and data security laws
  • Compliance professionals with multinationals who are responsible for cross-border issues

 Speakers: 

  • Katie Clark, Partner, McDermott Will & Emery LLP (London)
  • Dr. Paul Melot de Beauregard, Partner, McDermott Will & Emery LLP (Munich)
  • Michael G. Morgan, Partner, McDermott Will & Emery LLP (Los Angeles)
