GDPR & consent:
10 questions law firms are asking

Recorded on: October 18, 2017 – 12:00 PM

When it comes to the GDPR, consent is still a major concern for law firms. Most firms have made progress, yet many still have questions regarding how they collect, store and manage consent - or whether consent is required at all.

The answer is not always straightforward and is most often specific to individual circumstances. As a result, many firms have received ambiguous advice, leading them to conclude that consent is the only option. 

In this Q&A webinar with Short Richardson & Forth Solicitors, we explore the other forms of lawful basis and discuss where they may be a valid alternative to consent. We also address many of the concerns raised in our recent GDPR Roadshow, ran in conjunction with 4 law societies across the UK. In particular we cover gathering consent from 3rd parties, re-gaining consent from existing databases and the rules surrounding corporate communications.

In this webinar we explore:

  • The 10 most common questions on consent

  • The 6 lawful basis' for processing

  • Gathering consent when receiving data from 3rd parties

  • How the rules differ when processing corporate data

We'd like to get in touch via phone and email, if you'd prefer not to hear from us you can opt-out on the form, or via our preferences page. We won't use any of your data to contact you on a personal basis, so make sure you only enter your corporate information into this form. You can find some more information about how we might use your data in our privacy policy.
