Data Protection Legal Services That Grow With Your Business

At Founders Law, we know that data protection and UK GDPR compliance can feel complicated (and, let’s be honest, a bit overwhelming). Our goal is simple. To take that stress off your plate, help you stay compliant, and let you get back to what really matters: growing and innovating.

No Compliance for Compliance’s Sake

We don’t believe in ticking boxes just to say you’ve done it. Instead, we take a commercial, pragmatic approach that matches your business stage and appetite for risk. Sure, there’s a list of things you’ll technically need to have in place - but our job is to help you figure out what actually moves the needle for your business.

We’ll flag the high-risk areas, focus on what’s really important, and make your data protection compliance journey clear and manageable - whether you’re a startup building your first privacy compliance framework or an established company with complex data flows.

Straightforward Advice from Experienced Data Protection Lawyers

Our team of seasoned solicitors are here to make data protection law simple. Whether you’re a highly regulated enterprise that needs to dot every “i” and cross every “t”, or a fast-growing startup that just needs a solid foundation, we’ll meet you where you are and build from there.

We’ve helped businesses of all sizes stay on top of UK GDPR, handle subject access requests, and respond swiftly to data breaches — all while keeping things practical and easy to understand.

Legal Support That Fits Your Business

Every business is different, so we don’t do one-size-fits-all. Our data protection legal services are tailored to your goals, your operations, and your growth plans. The result? You stay compliant, reduce risk, and build trust with your customers - all without slowing down.

From data protection audits and data governance frameworks to privacy policies and data processing agreements, we’ll help you stay compliant and confident.

Clear, Jargon-Free Guidance

We speak human, not legalese. Whether you’re updating privacy policies, responding to a data breach, or handling data subject access requests, we’ll walk you through it in plain English so you can make confident, informed decisions.

Our focus is on clarity - so you can act fast, understand your risks, and put smart, sustainable privacy processes in place.

Flexible Support, Transparent Pricing

We know that data protection needs (and budgets) vary. That’s why we offer flexible options -from ad hoc privacy support to full outsourced DPO services and breach availability packages - all with clear, predictable pricing and no hidden surprises.

Whether you’re a founder, GC, or COO managing compliance, you’ll always know exactly what you’re paying for and why.
