Privacy and security – beyond compliance

Data protection and GDPR

We help you establish data protection and information security in a practical and reliable way. Our team supports you with clarifying lawful grounds for processing, transparency obligations, data subject rights and international data transfers, and provides clear, actionable recommendations based on targeted assessments.

We also assist with developing the required documentation and frameworks, including data processing agreements, DPIAs, internal controls and robust procedures for handling personal data and security incidents, and we support you in regulatory inspections. Once the foundations are in place, we help ensure that compliance works in practice through training, ongoing support and the option to appoint PwC as your external Data Protection Officer.

Security

Expectations around security and operational resilience continue to increase. We support compliance with the Digital Security Act, the Security Act, DORA and NIS2, and help ensure that robust risk assessments, secure supply chains and effective governance structures are in place.

In the event of incidents, we provide rapid assistance with incident response, damage mitigation and regulatory reporting. Our lawyers work closely with cybersecurity specialists to deliver clear legal guidance alongside practical implementation, from regulatory requirements to operational execution.

Technology and digital transformation

We work in multidisciplinary teams on legal matters relating to technology and data driven development. Whether you need support with IT contracts, procurement assurance or legal advice in regulated sectors such as health care and financial services, we help you navigate complex legal requirements and enable safe and effective digitalisation.

Through our international network, we also support cross border projects. With experience from both the public and private sectors, we are well positioned to support you regardless of where you are in your digital transformation journey.

Artificial intelligence

We view artificial intelligence as a powerful tool for both our clients and our own work. Our team has deep expertise in emerging technology regulation, including the EU AI Act, and works closely with technology and strategy specialists on the development and implementation of AI solutions.

Corporate law

We provide legal advice in corporate law and support the ongoing administration and governance of companies. Our business lawyers have extensive experience in corporate governance, equity transactions, mergers, demergers, acquisitions and other structural changes. We approach corporate law matters from a holistic perspective and, where relevant, draw on expertise from our other legal practice areas to ensure comprehensive and well‑balanced advice.

We advise all types of organisations, ranging from limited liability companies and partnerships to branches of foreign companies, foundations and other organisational structures. Our services include support with capital increases, company formation and liquidation, business structuring, as well as guidance for boards and owners on governance, roles and responsibilities.

Through our international network, we also manage corporate law matters across borders. We support management, shareholders and other stakeholders in complex situations and assist with disputes arising from corporate relationships. Our objective is always to deliver practical, integrated solutions that strengthen the organisation’s legal and structural foundation.

Our financial regulatory services

We provide comprehensive legal support to organisations operating in a highly regulated, detailed and continuously evolving financial services landscape. Regulatory frameworks vary significantly across banking, payments, insurance, securities markets and crypto, and our experience enables us to navigate this complexity effectively. We assemble teams with both strategic oversight and deep technical expertise, allowing us to deliver advice that supports compliance, efficient operations and sound governance.

We assist with licence and authorisation applications for businesses requiring approval, registration or permission from the Financial Supervisory Authority. This includes the development of key governance and policy documents, risk and capital assessments, internal controls, anti‑money laundering frameworks, data protection and sustainability requirements. We also manage regulatory dialogue with supervisory authorities on behalf of our clients. In addition, we support product development by clarifying applicable regulatory requirements and combining legal and strategic advice to enable compliant and commercially viable innovation.

For organisations subject to ongoing supervision, we provide support throughout the supervisory process to ensure effective handling and follow‑up. We also advise on sustainability and climate risk, data protection and data sharing, organisational strategy, cross‑border operations and international expansion. Our aim is to deliver practical, integrated solutions that strengthen our clients’ resilience in the face of regulatory demands and rapid change in financial markets.

Real estate law

We provide a broad range of legal services within real estate law, supporting both businesses and real estate actors in navigating a market often characterised by uncertainty and complex regulation. Our specialists have extensive experience with rights and obligations in property transactions, registration of agreements and the handling of easements, ensuring that transactions are carried out safely and correctly. At the same time, we combine legal expertise with commercial insight, reflecting the approach PwC’s real estate teams are widely known for when advising clients in the property market.

We advise on neighbour disputes, zoning and planning matters, and other issues arising from the use and development of real property. This includes support in processes related to planning and building legislation, assessment of the implications of changes in land use, and the management of stakeholder interests. Where relevant, our lawyers draw on PwC’s multidisciplinary expertise in areas such as tax, structuring and public sector processes.

We also assist with real estate due diligence in connection with acquisitions and disposals, including assessments of risk, contractual matters and regulatory requirements. Together with PwC’s broader real estate capabilities, we support transactions, portfolio optimisation, evaluation of the appropriate timing for acquisitions or disposals, and value documentation. Our goal is always to deliver holistic, practical and commercially grounded advice that enables our clients to make well‑informed decisions in a demanding market.
