We advise chambers and associations, local authorities and companies on how to best handle the information entrusted to them in a legally compliant manner.
We ensure that confidential information remains confidential.
Freedom of the press and the right to access information are fundamental pillars of the democratic order. Not only the free press, but also individual citizens are therefore entitled to extensive rights to information, which are regulated in laws such as the Freedom of Information Act, the Consumer Information Act and the Environmental Information Act.
However, these demands for transparency and control reach their limits when they violate personal data, confidentiality obligations or trade secrets. We advise our clients on how to navigate this balancing act between information rights and represent their interests in the relevant legal proceedings.
