GDPR and data protection obligations for international arbitration proceedings
11 May 2021
The intersection of data protection law and international arbitration has become increasingly complex following the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and similar data protection frameworks worldwide. Four Pillars Chambers examines the key obligations that parties and practitioners must navigate.
Arbitration proceedings frequently involve the processing of personal data, from witness statements and expert reports to financial records and communications. The GDPR imposes strict requirements on how this data is collected, processed, stored, and transferred across borders, particularly when proceedings involve parties or evidence from multiple jurisdictions.
Four Pillars Chambers advises clients on compliance with data protection obligations in arbitration, ensuring that proceedings are conducted in accordance with applicable privacy laws while maintaining the efficiency and effectiveness of the dispute resolution process.
