The General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), a European Union individual data protection law, became fully enforceable on May 25, 2018.
Obtaining discovery materials from the EU has been notoriously difficult for some time.

Later, we will take a step back and look at Cybersecurity issues generally, highlighting potential pitfalls and strategies to address them.
