GDPR for Employment Lawyers

Introduction

Can you monitor an employee’s emails? How long should you retain exit interview notes? What happens when a disgruntled former employee files a Subject Access Request - or complains to the ICO?

Employment lawyers face GDPR challenges at every stage of the employment relationship. Get it wrong, and you risk ICO enforcement, compensation claims, and serious consequences for your clients.

This session addresses the 10 most common GDPR questions employment lawyers grapple with. Practical answers grounded in ICO guidance, case law and real-world examples will be explored.

You will leave with clear, actionable strategies you can apply immediately in your practice.
