ICT & Privacy
GDPR
It is safe to say that since May 28, 2018, all companies, authorities, or citizens have been confronted at least once with GDPR issues or questions. The purpose of this well-known regulation is to determine whether (and how) companies and authorities can process the data of individuals, and what rights they have over their data. Companies ought to comply with the legal requirements or face financial (and operational) repercussions. That is the information that you will find on every regular law firm’s website.
At IFORI, we want to go a step further and provide you with advice that you can actually use. We provide you with guidance that is tailored to your situation. We are not satisfied with vague, theoretical or irrelevant advice.
For instance, did you know that there is not one, but three different data-protection authorities in Belgium that you could be confronted with? That personal information is not always personal? Or that not everyone is subject to the GPDR?
We are not interested in the dramatic approach on data protection, we choose to have a positive and “can do” attitude. We see opportunities, not only risks.
What do we do?
With over 20 years of experience in privacy and data protection law, we advise and find solutions for clients in both the private and public sector.
Our services range from the meticulous drafting of contracts, to auditing and implementing full GPDR-compliance. We also offer external DPO services tailored to the needs and the budget of your company. We help you to implement good practices, raise awareness and mitigate risks.
IFORI can assist and advise you on how to respond to personal data breaches, or which solutions you can easily and cost-effectively implement to reach compliance. Ultimately we want to assist you finding ways to make GDPR endorse, rather than restrict, your business.

New Tech & ICT
The future is digital, young, and disruptive. And so your legal service providers should be. Although we are jurists, we breathe and live IT and technology. The sector holds little secrets for us. We are legal advisors to whom you will not have to explain the concept of IoT, AI, blockchain or cloud computing. We are working at the intersection of law and tech, it is only natural our slogan became “When tech meets law“.
What do we do?
We draft, review, and manage your IT-contracts, both within the framework of “one-shot” cooperation and in “full service” missions. We advise you on the legal and ethical issues that could arise from specific uses of technologies. Since we also assist you in protecting and transferring your immaterial IT-assets most effectively, we have a perfect understanding of your company and your needs.
