Scope of Personal Data Processing in Legal Practice
∘ Sergi Jorbenadze ∘

A lawyer processes a wide range of information in the course of professional activities, often involving a high likelihood of accessing personal data. In many cases, this includes special categories of personal data, requiring the lawyer to exercise heightened caution and adhere strictly to legal requirements. It is essential to distinguish between processing data for personal and professional purposes, ensuring data security, and safeguarding the client’s interests.

Since legal practice does not grant unlimited mandate, unlawful processing of personal data by a lawyer can trigger a chain reaction. Specifically, a single action may not only violate personal data processing regulations but also breach professional standards.

This article focuses on the reconciliation and analysis of established practice, examining individual cases of violations of lawfulness or personal data processing standards within the context of legal practice.
