The UK is subject to the UK GDPR, which has no material differences to the EU GDPR. There are probably some other differences, but the UK is much better than USA or Australia etc. (Although I'm surprised there aren't USA-based law firms which specialise in European privacy laws, because of their impact on tech companies)

yeah, but the people that work with the UK law firm probably go to the UK to have meetings just so they can update their out-of-office replies with "i'll be away for meetings in the UK for...blahblahblah" just so they look cooler than the schmucks that have meetings across town. so that's why they choose non-local talent, just for their egos.

or, maybe i'm confusing them with ad agency types that i've worked with in the past and i'm just projecting one ego industry to another?

You're saying they choose a UK law firm bc it "looks cooler" to travel on a plane to the UK? Am I reading this right

Or they've worked with them for more than four years, before the UK left the EU.

You feeling okay?
