EU Representative Services for non-EU data controllers

From 1 January 2021, all UK-based data controllers and processors offering goods or services to EU citizens, or tracking their behaviour, will need to appoint an EU Representative. The EU Representative’s role is principally to communicate with EU supervisory authorities and data subjects.

We offer a fixed-fee EU Representative service providing electronic liaison, managing communications from supervisory authorities in the EU, and from data subjects in the EU jurisdictions where the data controller operates. In short, this service, led by our data protection specialists, is designed to alleviate the burden of this aspect of regulatory compliance from our clients.

If you are an organisation and want to find out more about our fixed-fee EU Representative service, contact us here.
