I'm offering
Hello
I am a qualified and regulated UK solicitor, a certified data protection practitioner and an MBA graduate (three professionals for the price of one!).
I assist Start-Ups and SME's in meeting their compliance obligations. Full details of my services are on my website http://*****.***), where you can see I offer bespoke fixed fee, 'pay-as-you-go' and subscription legal and data protection services. I can act as your outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) or outsourced Legal Counsel, saving SME's considerable expense.
With the added advantage of a legal background combined with an MBA qualification, I am able to provide a deeper and more complete understanding of business and compliance issues, as well as competitive business strategy advice. I have worked in-house, in private practice and in the public sector, where I recently assisted with GDPR implementation for the largest local authority in Europe.
