Toronto—Dentons and BDO Canada LLP have entered into a co-engagement to support clients with adhering to the recently-introduced, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into effect on May 25, 2018. The GDPR replaces the directive and European local privacy laws, presenting an unprecedented level of data protection obligations for businesses worldwide that have commercial activities in Europe.

Alongside BDO Canada LLP, Dentons will assist clients to ensure the necessary processes are met to successfully comply with the GDPR. Bringing a wealth of experience to the service offering, the co-engagement is spearheaded by the following seasoned professionals:

• Chantal Bernier, Lead, Canadian Privacy and Cybersecurity practice, Dentons 
• Rishan Lye, Partner, BDO Canada LLP
• Sam Khoury, Partner and National Financial Services Leader, BDO Canada LLP

Together, with their in-depth knowledge of the GDPR, the team will provide practical, comprehensive and integrated approaches to help clients comply with the GDPR. This includes ensuring having the right policies, consent and services agreement to comply, as well as having the appropriate technological structure to implement the policies, consent forms and service agreements adopted.
