“It’s all about maintaining authentic communication, focusing on understanding clients’ objectives, and devising strategies to deliver them”

“From a commercial perspective, technology is a driver across all industries. Businesses are seemingly more reliant on technology to trade and compete. Meanwhile, from a legal perspective, technology is constantly evolving – subsequently posing new challenges to regulators at a global scale.

Clients trust me with their reporting obligations as I ensure their compliance across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously and often within tight deadlines. My strong relationship with outside counsel means clients have direct access to local legal advice and assistance across multiple jurisdictions.

My professional approach is also friendly – it’s all about maintaining authentic communication, focusing on understanding clients’ objectives, and devising strategies to deliver them. I always keep clients updated throughout the process while providing a balanced view of any challenges ahead and the options available.”

Laura’s recent work highlights:

Coordinating compliance with e-Privacy and European Electronic Communications Code reporting obligations across all EU Member States on behalf of a global social media platform.

Advising a major online UK-based medical business on their regulatory obligations arising from a business email compromise affecting over 100,000 data subjects and their medical records.
