JP Buckley
Partner, Shoosmiths
JP Buckley heads the Data & Privacy team at national law firm Shoosmiths LLP, where he is a Partner.
He undertakes a wide range of information law work including data protection, cyber-security, e-commerce, direct marketing and freedom of information (FOI) – and has a range of clients in the retail, manufacturing & distribution, regulated financial services, technology and public sectors in the UK and EU/EEA. A specific focus right now is providing practical and proportionate advice to organisations on compliance strategies, data reviews, risk assessments and training in relation to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which comes into effect on 25 May 2018.
JP’s recent experience includes advising a non-EU based company on their data privacy and procurement compliance regimes when entering into the EU market; designing training courses for a multi-national corporate to create a consistent global compliance approach (ensuring that teams working in even countries with little or no regulation are aware of the rules which apply elsewhere and are likely to impact their operations); and advising a data-rich UK services company on its e-commerce terms, direct marketing approaches and website compliance, co-ordinating all this to produce single form universally acceptable privacy policies and procedures.
