Brazil’s Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) – what do UK and EU companies need to know?

The LGPD has many similarities to the GDPR/UK GDPR; most notably it provides for extraterritorial jurisdiction. However there are key differences and businesses in the UK and EU that have a presence in Brazil, and even those that simply sell in to Brazil, have to consider its impact and related compliance strategy.

In this session Alexander Milner-Smith and Benjamin Favaro from Lewis Silkin along with Vanessa Ribeiro, a Partner specialising in data and privacy from Lewis Silkin’s data and privacy partner Gusmão and Labrunie will discuss:

• The basics of the LGPD (e.g. what is its territorial effect? What are the key definitions? What is the enforcement profile?); and

• What EU and UK companies need to do now?

If you have any queries, questions you'd like to raise in advance, or a colleague who would like to attend, please contact events@lewissilkin.com.
