IT and data legislation

MDP also focuses on the rapidly evolving information society and the legal challenges it poses.

General

MDP boasts the expertise of lawyers who have many years of experience in assisting and advising on the legal challenges posed by the ever-increasing digitisation of private, public and economic life.

These are the "newer" branches of law that are in full and continuous evolution and for which it is necessary to keep close track of recent developments.  In addition, it concerns areas that often attract media and public attention and where breaches are heavily sanctioned.
