SYNOPSIS
A no deal Brexit turns the UK into a "third country" overnight. Of all the EU-based legal frameworks that would cease to apply to the UK at the stroke of the (Bruxelles) midnight, none has the potential to hamper both UK and global economies more than the one relating to personal data transfers.
The risk can hardly be exaggerated, as even the most mundane business activity involves personal data of some sort. What could unthinkingly be done before, will thereafter need to be scrutinised as to correct legal basis and "additional safeguards": businesses based in the EU and the rest of the world may well steer clear of doing business with their UK counterparties altogether, given the relatively technical and still obscure nature of legal requirements applying to data flows between the EU and a third country.
So what are the legal options available to business parties, in the UK and in the rest of the world, wishing to minimise no-deal Brexit disruption and to do business together? If legal options are deemed impractical, or excessively expensive, what are the business and IT options to continue trading with EU counterparts?
After an in-depth outline of the status of legal tools available, the speaker will facilitate interaction with the audience to share ideas and best practical solutions for data transfers.
