Data Protection

The PRIMUS team of certified data protection specialists (CIPP/E) provide legal advice to Lithuanian and international clients on all data security and privacy matters.

We assist clients with consistent end-to-end implementation of data protection principles within their organisations.

In addition, we provide legal assistance with one-off matters and the implementation of specific projects.

As technology continues to develop at a dizzying speed, businesses discover more and more ways of using data (including personal data), which are immediately followed by new regulations, interpretations provided by competent authorities, court decisions, etc. The PRIMUS team is delighted at the opportunity to contribute to our clients’ projects and ensure their compliance with the constantly evolving data protection requirements, including GDPR.

Data protection issues are highly relevant, and clients are forced to consider them with nearly every project. For this reason, our data protection specialists cooperate with and participate in the activities of their colleagues in other departments (real estate, financial, labour law, and other projects), ensuring their compliance with data protection requirements.
