What Questions Are In-House Counsel Asking Most About the GDPR?

The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) is the most comprehensive – and complex – data privacy regulation in the world. As companies prepare for the GDPR to go into force on May 25, 2018, there continues to be a great deal of confusion regarding the requirements of the GDPR.

To help address that confusion, our firm’s Data Privacy and Security team has published a multi-part series discussing the questions most frequently asked about the GDPR.  You can find a link to each of the top 10 questions and answers (in the order of popularity) below:
