FourthLine ThinkTank: Selecting your DPO – 21st June – 4pm to 6pm – Gaucho Grill, London City

Specialist Regulatory recruitment firm, FourthLine Limited, are running the latest in their series of "FourthLine ThinkTank" events on Wednesday 21st June. The event takes place in the plush surroundings of London City's Gaucho Grill and will play host to a group of Data Protection Officers, Legal Counsels and senior regulatory professionals from the Financial Services and Technology sectors.

The subject of the event is "Selecting your DPO - the evolution of the Data Protection Officer and how Team DPO could play a part in the future of the role". FourthLine decided on this topic after many recent enquiries to the firm on how to identify and hire the right DPO for their firm in the face of much confusion, regulatory scrutiny and lack of clarity. In fact, many customers have never hired for Data Protection skills before and this event offers them an opportunity for greater insight into their requirements under GDPR legislation and to hear from industry peers on best practice and some creative solutions to combat the scarcity of available talent in the market.

The event will be hosted by FourthLine and headlined by two keynote speakers - Rob Sheldon, Partner for Privacy at leading City law firm, FieldFisher LLP and Ardi Kolah, Co-Director for the GDPR Transition Programme at Henley Business School. Peer discussion will follow each presentation with the event rounded off with networking drinks. Rob is a lawyer with over 15 years' experience advising clients on Privacy, IT and outsourcing projects and complex commercial contracts. He frequently advises clients on compliance with fast-changing privacy laws.Recognised by FT Europe as one of the leading data protection practitioners in Europe, Ardi has advised Shadow Ministers and acted as Special Advisor to Scotland’s First Minister on the impact of the GDPR.
