Speaker Bio
Jane specialises in data protection and digital projects and transactions. She has a deep knowledge of the subject having worked in this area for over 25 years.
Jane’s transactional practice includes helping clients with transformational digitalisation projects that often have the use of data at their core but which often also involve the implementation of new technologies or processes such as AI. Jane also regularly advises on issues relating to repurposing of data, profiling, AI, ad-tech and direct marketing. She also advises on a wide range of other data protection issues such as data subject requests, data security breaches, data protection investigations, cross border data transfers (including in the aftermath of Schrems II), transfers of data to overseas regulators, customer relationship management, employee monitoring, data protection policies and procedures and website compliance issues.
Jane has been advising a number of clients on AI and the draft EU Artificial Intelligence Act and parallel developments in the UK. She recently presented on the implications of the EU AI Act alongside Matt Kusner Associate Professor in Machine Learning, University College London.
Jane is recognised as a Leading Individual for Data Protection, Privacy and Cybersecurity (Legal 500, 2022) and was awarded “Best in Privacy and Data Protection” at the 2020 European Women in Business Law Awards.
