Over these past few months we have been busy interviewing businesses for our new data security report which explores how companies are coping in an increasingly data-driven digital age.

The report:

  • Draws from these in-depth interviews with leading UK businesses
  • Highlights the consequences of not keeping data secure on premise and in the cloud
  • Points to the risks of a fine of up to 2% of turnover and possible jail sentences
  • Provides guidance on best practice
  • Concludes with "Top Ten Tips" for implementing a successful data security strategy

We will be hosting a high profile panel debate at our London office to discuss the key findings of the report and what it means for UK businesses on 11 July 2012.

New Subscription Rules Are Coming: Is Your Business Ready?

Businesses and consumers have grown to love subscription models, though their reasons may differ. While these models offer convenience, they can be complicated and difficult to exit. This may lead to consumers paying for services they no longer want or use. The government is addressing this through the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024. The new rules are expected to come into force in January 2027.

However, misuse of Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) can lead to disputes or financial abuse. Challenges to gifts or LPAs may arise from capacity issues, undue influence, or mismanagement. Legal advice is crucial if concerns about an LPA's use or a lifetime gift's validity arise.
