After years of adopting a relatively relaxed approach to foreign direct investment (“FDI”), the ongoing political tensions with China, notably in relation to the anti-government demonstrations in Hong Kong and the steps to remove all Huawei equipment from the UK’s 5G networks by 2027, has lead the UK government to consider steps that will enable it to intervene in FDI in UK companies either pre or post-completion where that investment would give the foreign entity at least a 25% shareholding...

As avid readers of our posts will know we have been highlighting the issues UK businesses face as a result of the court decision turning off the data tap to the USA in a wide range of situations. Most of our readers will now know that the EU really only approves of its own legalising mechanism of Standard Contractual Clauses (otherwise known as Model Contracts). To recap, sending personal data out of the UK/EU is frowned upon unless it is going to...

It was interesting to hear that a recent round table review amongst data privacy heads in a number of large businesses thought GDPR was still waiting to find its teeth in the form of major fines.

Admittedly for most businesses those issues seem only to be relevant to corporate giants. We agree with...

We recently wrote about the effect of a court decision (Schrems II) which means that any data flowing to a company in the USA under the Privacy Shield could no longer do so. Believe it or not, this decision impacts on almost every business in the United Kingdom. Even yours. Why? We all unknowingly use so many services where data flows to the USA because that is where the head office is, or where your UK service provider found the cheapest storage. Imagine...

We have all heard about the Cloud, and all use it, but have little idea about it or even if we actually use it – but now we need to check a few things after an important court decision in July 2020 about how personal data can legally move backwards and forwards to USA Clouds. A Cloud is a massive warehouse or warehouses of computers which hold websites, data, software and entire businesses that connect to our PCs through the internet....
