Successful Implementation of a New Data Privacy Policy with an Interim Lawyer
Background
Our client, a direct distributor of frozen foods and ice cream operating in 12 countries, faced the challenge of establishing a new data privacy policy for the European market. This required an internal service provider with expertise in data protection law, as well as civil and corporate law. However, due to a personnel vacancy resulting from a notice period, the project had come to a standstill.
Approach
To overcome this challenge, Robert Walters provided an interim manager with the appropriate legal qualifications, having successfully completed both the first and second state examinations. The interim lawyer was able to promptly address immediate issues and focus specifically on the project's unique challenges. This bridged the personnel gap until the planned permanent hiring could be realized.
Why Choose an Interim Lawyer for Implementing a New Data Privacy Policy?
Implementing a new data privacy policy is a complex endeavor that requires in-depth legal knowledge. An interim lawyer brings this expertise and also offers the necessary flexibility. They can quickly assimilate into new projects and drive them forward efficiently. Their independence allows them to act objectively and make unbiased decisions.
Outcome
Thanks to the deployment of the interim lawyer from Robert Walters, the new data privacy policy was successfully implemented. The interim lawyer swiftly identified solutions to urgent issues and steered the project back on track. When the planned permanent hire began, the new employee encountered fewer challenges due to the groundwork laid by the interim manager, facilitating an easier transition into the new role.
Robert Walters' interim team emphasizes:
"Companies often tend to approach law firms for secondment solutions involving lawyers. However, these can be costly. An interim expert embedded within the company often proves more effective and closely aligned with ongoing operations. Moreover, this solution frequently represents a more cost-effective alternative than initially assumed."
