GRCI Law, is a GRC solutions company. Later this year, we’ll be changing our name to GRC Solutions, along with our sister companies, DQM GRC and IT Governance – find out more.
We are at the forefront of developments in the constantly evolving, challenging and complex field of data privacy.
We are market leaders in terms of depth and breadth of experience. Our team of lawyers and DPOs (data protection officers) have decades of experience between them.
We only advise on data protection, privacy and associated non-reserved legal services, which means our team has sector-specific knowledge and experience, and visibility of the latest trends, best practice, developments and challenges. Our clients view us as part of their teams and we are known for our pragmatic, commercial advice.
We offer legal risk and compliance consultancy advice that you can trust, but without the burden of administrative duties and expenses that law firms must bear to carry out certain ‘reserved legal activities’, such as litigation, conveyancing and advocacy.
Because we don’t provide these reserved legal activities, we are able to offer you high-quality, specialist advice at competitive rates.
We provide the independent support and services that traditional law firms cannot – either because they lack the necessary resources or because doing so would create a conflict of interest.
For example, the GDPR stipulates that although the DPO may fulfil other tasks and duties, doing so must not result in a conflict of interest.
Regulated solicitors therefore often can’t act for their clients as both DPO and lawyer. Outsourcing the DPO function to GRCI Law removes that conflict, enabling clients to continue to instruct their solicitors for legal advice on the ‘reserved legal activities’.
Indeed, for most law firms, it is more cost-effective to use our services than incur additional liabilities and risks by providing these services themselves.
