Regulatory law is specific legal regulation applicable to individual sectors and segments of business activities. At act legal Slovakia (formerly known as act MPH advocates), our focus is primarily on the areas of electronic communications, banking, and finance, network industries including energy, industrial property, waste management, environment, etc.
Under GDPR, we provide a comprehensive legal background for the protection of personal data in accordance with EU law and regulation. Furthermore, advising clients on proceedings regarding the collection and processing of personal data, full security, and how to control access to this data.
This agenda also includes fulfilling obligations towards the regulator, when transferring personal data across borders, setting up contractual relationships when processing personal data and data protection in cloud solutions. On top of it, we draft internal regulations by clients so that the entire company team is guided by the principle of compliance and avoiding possible sanctions.
