Information, and particularly personal information, is a major resource for today's businesses and public sector organisations. Whether it be employee records, customer accounts, mailing lists, or client files, organisations are increasingly conscious both of the value of information and of legal requirements to respect individual privacy.

 

Our privacy lawyers are experienced in helping organisations to get the maximum value from their information resources, while ensuring compliance with their legal obligations under the Privacy Act.

 

We are also experienced in assisting clients with responding to requests for access to information under the Official Information Act and the Privacy Act, as well as handling complaints to the Ombudsman and Privacy Commissioner. Resolving problems of this type speedily and at a low level reduces the likelihood of both negative publicity and substantial financial outlay.
