LegalTech in Leeds Learning Lunch, in partnership with University of Law

Organised by Legaltech in Leeds

LegalTech in Leeds is running a series of monthly Learning Lunches, held virtually, in partnership with University of Law.

The format of the Learning Lunches will see an expert speaker set the scene followed by an interactive roundtable style discussion.

LegalTech Learning Lunch – The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill No.2

David Bishop, CSP’s Data Privacy Expert, will provide a review of the current state of the legislation, to allow delegates to prepare for the changes in legislation and the procedural and process changes that may be required. CSP will be providing regular updates on these changes via blog posts in the future and CSP’s Data Privacy newsletter.

The Data Protection Act 2018 is under reform. The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill (DPDI), once enacted, will retain the current structure of the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003, but will have key amendments to certain provisions.

These amendments will impact data to varying degrees, including; how we define it, assessing its usage, managing rights, accountability of both businesses and customers, and its regulatory oversight. The Bill includes an increased scope around digital information, with provisions which align with those traditionally focused on data protection, but some which are distinct and arguably not related to the current legislative approach.

The DPDI No.2 is currently awaiting its 3rd reading in the House of Commons (hopefully later this month), before further scrutiny in the House of Lords, and eventual Royal Assent, so there is still time to consider its implications. During this learning lunch there will be an overview of the key changes, some thoughts on how we might set our expectations, what we can be doing while we wait for clarification, and a discussion which will provide an opportunity to share the dilemma.

This session will be valuable for all those working across the LegalTech ecosystem including law firms, tech firms and LegalTech firms as well as those in education.
