For Data Act compliance too, we offer our Legal Desk service to the businesses affected by the Regulation. It is a multidisciplinary legal assistance and advisory service whose availability and, above all, speed the Client can always count on. The service meets the need to outsource the handling of legal issues in less complex business contexts and can also be a valuable support to the in-house legal department in more structured organisations.
The involvement of a pool of senior professionals — organised by area of specialisation — allows the Client to capitalise on the advisory experience gained, ensuring constant regulatory updates in its sector. The multidisciplinary approach also delivers attractive economies of scale.

Our areas of work include:

• Mapping of connected products and related services and allocation of roles and responsibilities;
• Preparation of transparency notices and of the terms for making data available;
• Supplementing contracts with customers, partners and third parties in the light of the Data Act;
• Internal procedures for handling data access and portability requests;
• Assistance with switching and exit between data processing service providers;
• Handling of data requests from public sector bodies;
• Contracts and data governance in IoT environments.

For each Client the service involves a “contact lawyer”, who coordinates the work and has an ongoing relationship with the company. The presence of this figure brings:

• A stronger relationship of trust with the Client;
• The progressive personalisation of the service, as knowledge of the company context steadily grows;
• The guarantee of a constant legal presence, which also plays a proactive role towards the Client.

As for how the service is offered, the methodology is that of a typical help desk: maximum freedom and flexibility for the Client to set upfront an annual budget for the initiative, so as to make the most of its economies of scale.
The expected result is to turn what has perhaps been perceived until now as the cost of regulatory compliance into an insurance policy — or an investment — in the peace of mind of doing things properly
