The UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 introduce significant changes that organisations and legal professionals must understand.

This fully updated second edition provides a practical guide to the UK GDPR, helping solicitors, in-house legal teams and data protection professionals understand both the legislation and its application in practice. It explains what the UK GDPR means for organisations' own personal data, as well as the personal data they process on behalf of clients, helping practitioners manage risk and navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.
Combining practical commentary with a comprehensive analysis of the UK GDPR, this guide enables practitioners to confidently navigate one of the fastest evolving areas of law.
