Description Overview

In February 2024, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) approved an official GDPR certification standard, LOCS:23.

This new standard has been specifically developed to ensure law firms, barristers’ chambers and suppliers to the legal sector meet their UK GDPR obligations, and evidence to clients that their data is properly and legally protected. Both UK Chambers, 30 Park Place and international law firm, Osborne Clarke have recently achieved the LOCS:23 certification, setting the standard for other legal organisations to follow.

As a government backed standard, LOCS:23 is likely to become the minimum standard of GDPR compliance expected by clients, government bodies and regulators soon.

Briefed CEO, Orlagh Kelly, and her team of in-house barristers will be providing an overview in understanding the core requirements of LOCS:23 and the process required to implement it throughout your firm.

It will be of particular benefit to delegates who are responsible for GDPR within their organisation.
