Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Linklaters has assisted us on a gap analysis. From the initial scoping discussions, it was clear that the Linklaters team possessed deep, up-to-date knowledge of the latest privacy regulations, industry standards, and emerging best practices.'
- 'What truly set Linklaters apart was their ability to translate complex legal and technical concepts into clear, actionable insights. Their final privacy gap analysis report not only highlighted the gaps we needed to address but also provided detailed recommendations on how to do so, including suggested policy updates, process improvements, and technology implementations.’
