Data Privacy and Digital Rights
The human rights landscape has evolved – and so have we.
There is no time in human history when our future rights have been under greater threat from surveillance capitalism and government interference, aided and abetted by technologies built in the digital age.

Data Privacy and Digital Rights: Frequently Asked Questions
View our FAQsThe human rights landscape has evolved – and so have we.
Our data privacy lawyers are committed to bringing about an era of greater tech justice and being the firm that campaigners and activists turn to.
Taking action to protect your digital and data rights.
We can assemble a multi-disciplinary team that not only has a deep understanding of the patchwork of laws applying to your case, whether they concern challenges to decisions made by a public authority, discrimination by an employer or infringement of your human rights.
Our digital rights and data privacy team will also have a strong technical understanding of the technologies that you are challenging.
Defending those who seek to call out injustice.
Individuals seeking to challenge tech companies and public authorities have been dismissed, marginalised and charged with criminal offences in an attempt to silence them.
Our data privacy and digital rights lawyers have experience of working with whistleblowers, activists and human rights organisations in protecting individuals in this space.
Seeking to change the narrative.
Too long have tech companies relied upon well-resourced legal teams and inequality of arms to continue to push an agenda that is privacy-intrusive, infringes on basic rights and entrenches inequalities.
Our creative legal team can provide strategic advice and litigation support on issues of public interest in technology, such as the development of ethical and privacy-protective Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how to challenge where privacy and other considerations (such as discrimination and human rights) have not been embedded by design and by default.
