‘The Jones Day team combines a depth of knowledge with the real-world understanding of the regulators themselves to provide incredible service to their clients. ’
'Jones Day is not new to privacy. Their team has been practicing and advising on EU privacy law since the days of the EU Data Directive (and even before that). They have a deep bench of privacy lawyers who are both experts at GDPR, but also experts on the local laws of the member states. They know the DPAs and provide exceptional advice for companies who need to address critical privacy issues. This is a mature team that regularly works together.'
