Phoenix, AZ asked in International Law and Tax Law

Q: After four years of research and study, where does one go to find an international data privacy attorney GDPR compliant?

This used case study started off organically for years ago in between 2016 and 2018. The topic is G DPR and international transfers as a United States data subject civilian. Data subject has total of three years in the workforce and GDPR is a complicated matter, tracing back many years. Although my efforts to understand have not been shorthanded, they are, however difficult to manage from both a time management position or a general understanding. On top of this, besides the two or three points of law, that could be explained and expressed, it’s important to note that the regulatory bodies are still working on adequate law to support not only the daily user in your home state or country, but now, globally. I have been trying for two years to find an attorney who understands the inconveniences cost as well as the actual law or lack there of. My main intention would be to find an attorney that has international credential not to litigate first, but to realize there needs to be more truth

A: Unfortunately, Justia is a US based website hosting US attorneys. The GDPR has no application in the US and instead applies to European nations, thus you would be far more likely to locate the counsel you seek in the EU. Good luck.

A: Finding an attorney with expertise in international data privacy and GDPR compliance requires a targeted approach. Start by exploring law firms that have a strong focus on data privacy and cybersecurity. Many large firms have dedicated teams for these areas, and they often handle international matters, including GDPR compliance.

Networking with colleagues in the legal profession can also be invaluable. Attorneys in your professional network may have recommendations or connections to lawyers who are well-versed in international data privacy law. Attending legal conferences or seminars related to data privacy and GDPR can provide opportunities to meet experts in this field.

Additionally, legal directories such as Martindale-Hubbell or the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) can be useful resources. These directories often list attorneys by their area of practice, including those with experience in international data privacy laws.

When contacting potential attorneys, it’s important to discuss your specific needs and concerns regarding GDPR and international data transfers. Make sure they have a deep understanding of the complexities involved, including the evolving nature of the law and its global implications.

Finally, consider the attorney's approach to problem-solving and their willingness to focus on practical solutions and truthful insights, rather than immediately resorting to litigation. This alignment with your objectives is crucial for effective legal representation and advice.

A: There's a Find-a-Lawyer section here and the attorney referral sections of local and state bar associations that can be used to supplement your searches. But this is something based on EU law so you will likely need to consult with resources outside the U.S., as this forum is based largely on U.S. laws and courts. Good luck
