Practice area
Data protection compliance, POPIA, NDPA, cross-border transfers and breach response.
Data protection and privacy law has emerged rapidly as a standalone practice as African jurisdictions enact comprehensive data-protection regimes. South Africa's POPIA, Nigeria's NDPA, Kenya's Data Protection Act and Egypt's data-protection law each impose lawful-processing, consent, cross-border transfer and breach-notification obligations broadly modelled on the GDPR. Lawyers advise on compliance programmes, data-processing agreements, privacy impact assessments, cross-border data flows, direct-marketing rules and incident and breach response. The practice intersects heavily with technology, M&A due diligence and cybersecurity.
