This article has been prepared to assist companies and individuals who are residing in the EU / EEA but are transferring personal data to the United Kingdom (the "UK") and shall continue to do so following the 31st of October 2019. If as currently stated, the UK proceeds with its' scheduled withdrawal from the European Union on that date, without having reached an agreement with the EEA, then from 1st of November 2019 the UK will be designated as a "third country". This will inevitably have an adverse effect on the transfer of personal data to and from the EU / EEA.

From Cybersecurity To Supply Chain Sovereignty In CSA2: The Spotlight On Suppliers

In January 2026, the European Commission unveiled its plan to overhaul the EU's Cybersecurity Act, a proposal now known as CSA2. It's the natural next step in a story that began years earlier with the EU's 2020 "5G Security Toolbox" - a set of voluntary recommendations encouraging Member States to be cautious about certain telecom suppliers. That voluntary approach produced patchy results: by most accounts, fewer than half of EU countries had actually acted on those recommendations.

Jurisdiction In Cross-border Litigation: Insights From A Recent Cyprus Court Decision

It is not uncommon for high-value commercial disputes to give rise to jurisdictional issues, particularly where they involve multiple defendants domiciled in different jurisdictions or where one or more parties have entered into agreements containing jurisdiction clauses.
