1. What should you be doing as a law firm? (30 mins)

We will explain the key GDPR compliance requirements for solicitors' firms, including:

• the need for a crisis management plan
  
  We will also provide a checklist for you to take away.

2. Does GDPR mean the end for marketing? (30 mins)

• So GDPR means I cannot email anyone anything, right? Wrong. There is still a lot you can do with email marketing and your website. A lot. Conscious Solutions will show you what you can do.

3. What should you be doing as an employer? (15 mins)

We will look at considerations for you as an employer.

• considerations at the recruitment stage

We will cover the key messages for you to convey to your clients, such as:

• who is covered by the GDPR - including non-UK clients
• the effect of non-compliance on the implementation date
• fines (and how the ICO plans to approach setting them)
• reputation damage and civil damages claims
