Intelligent Combination of Contract, Policy and Technology as the Answer to Impending Heightened European Union Data Protection Regulations

Abstract

For multi-national corporate counsel, the complex web of national and super-national legislation and regulation in Europe may seem an intractable fettering of activity. The updating of the 1995 European Directive, as proposed to the European Council in January 2012, provides a timely opportunity to assess the ability to resolve the apparent conflicting standards of personal data protection and corporate governance. How can commercial negotiation, intelligent policy and technology provide in-house counsel with a safe path to travel?
