Gayle is a technology partner at Eversheds Sutherland, specialising in all things data. She has a wealth of experience in working and building relationships with in-house teams, corporate counsel, procurement and compliance teams.
Gayle’s approach to data reflects its value to both those to whom it relates, and the businesses who process it. She helps organisations protect, control – and even leverage and disclose – data within the complex compliance and ethical regimes which apply, considering personal data protection, rights, freedom of information and data and infrastructure security (including cyber threats). She has a particular interest in new technologies and novel uses of data (particularly the growing industry around biometrics) and supports clients in undertaking data protection impact assessments when implementing new systems.
She takes a commercial and pragmatic approach to complex legal situations, making sure that business objectives are achieved, and relationships and rights maintained, as well as developing a culture of compliance and assuaging risk.
