Description
Available to pre-order
The second edition of UK General Data Protection Regulation is an essential, practice-focused guide to the UK data protection regime, fully updated to reflect the changes introduced by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025. It explains what UK GDPR means both for firms’ own personal data and the personal data of their clients.
As the UK framework continues to diverge from the EU GDPR, understanding both the structure and practical application of the legislation is critical. This book provides a comprehensive, article-by-article analysis of the UK GDPR, supported by practical commentary designed to assist solicitors, in-house lawyers and data protection professionals in delivering confident, compliant advice.
Authored by James Castro-Edwards, a leading practitioner with extensive experience advising organisations across regulated sectors, this text bridges the gap between legal theory and day-to-day practice. It is equally valuable to experienced specialists and those new to data protection law.
The inclusion of the amended UK GDPR in full (via a Keeling Schedule) allows readers to clearly track legislative changes and understand their implications in context.
This is a must-have resource for firms and legal teams advising on data protection compliance in a fast-moving and increasingly complex legal landscape.
