Data Protection & IT Contracts - Live at Your Desk - Learn Live

Introduction

Any IT contract that involves processing of personal data needs to contain data protection clauses. The UK GDPR sets out the basic content of what is required, however there remains considerable scope for the parties to negotiate data protection terms that are favourable to each party.

Assuming a basic working knowledge of IT contracts, this live and interactive course is particularly aimed at commercial solicitors and in-house counsel who are advising clients on data protection compliance when drafting IT contracts.

This live and interactive course will look at drafting IT contracts that involve processing of personal data, including IT outsourcing contracts, IT services contracts, software licences and contracts for software and other IT systems as a service.
