GDPR in Practice: Common Mistakes, Key Risks and What Law Firms Need to Get Right

Date and Time
20 May 2026, Wednesday @ 12:00pm


GDPR compliance is no longer just a regulatory requirement, it’s a critical part of maintaining client trust, protecting your firm’s reputation, and avoiding costly mistakes. Yet many law firms continue to fall into the same traps when it comes to handling personal data, managing risk, and implementing effective processes.

In this practical and insightful session, Kristy Gouldsmith, Data Protection Partner at Spencer West, will explore the most common GDPR pitfalls facing law firms today and, crucially, how to avoid them.

Drawing on extensive experience advising organisations on data protection, Kristy will provide clear, actionable guidance to help your firm strike the right balance between compliance and commercial practicality.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • The most common GDPR mistakes law firms make and how to fix them
  • Key risk areas, including data breaches, subject access requests, and marketing compliance
  • Practical steps to strengthen your firm’s data protection processes
  • How to approach GDPR in a way that supports your business, not slows it down

Whether you’re responsible for compliance, risk, or operations within your firm, this session will give you the clarity and confidence to ensure you’re getting GDPR right in practice.
