Key Facts

Depending on your size and requirements, the Information Law Retainer offers three different levels of service when it comes to legal advice. DPOLookOut provides 3 matters per term (of up to 1 hour per matter) i.e. 9 matters per year. DPOGuardian provides unlimited matters per year (of up to 15 hours per year) and DPOSentinel provides unlimited matters ( of up to 30 hours per year).

The Information Law Team provides full spectrum advice on both the UK and EU GDPR, Freedom of Information, Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and planning for the ePrivacy Regulation (set to replace PECR), direct marketing compliance issues, a full data breach management service, international data transfers, data sharing, data protection audits and health checks.

If you require template documentation, choose either DPOGuardian or DPOSentinel. DPOGuardian will provide you with a suite of core template documents including state of the art Privacy Notices that you can adapt to suit your requirements. DPOGuardian has an even richer choice of documentation.

If template documents is not something you need, you may only need DPOLookOut. This is why we have created a variety of levels so as to give you choice.

The Information Law Retainer gives access to novel and up-to-the-minute staff training in data protection delivered by specialist lawyers. Depending on which service you select you can choose between the convenience of digital online learning through our specialist online platform or our School Certificate in Data Protection webinar delivered by one of our Information Lawyers. The point is we give our clients choice.
