Stay ahead of GDPR with our data protection legal specialists
What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (also known as UK GDPR) is the set of rules that govern the way organisations store, manage and use personal data. Breaches of data privacy can result in prosecutions and fines for the organisations concerned. The rules are complex and constantly under review, and it is essential to have experienced legal advisers to help you manage this data.
How can Tees keep my business data protection compliant?
The personal data that you hold about your clients, staff or other individuals is essential to the running of your business. This information must be accurate, kept safely and used in a way that has been agreed with the individual. Failure to do so can be a misuse of private information, a breach of confidence or of human rights. Our data protection specialist lawyers will review your data policies and ensure you are compliant at all times.

Our advisers provide holistic financial planning, and as we are not connected to any one provider, we can offer a whole-of-market approach for the range of products we can advise on. We can also give independent advice for a whole range of insurance products to protect you and your family. Our IFAs are regulated and authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, which means we’re accountable for the advice we give.
