Anna Iorio

I am a data protection advisor in Bird & Bird's Privacy Solutions team in London. I am a qualified lawyer in Italy and hold a master's degree in law with a focus on EU Laws and Regulations from LUISS University in Rome.

I am an experienced privacy and data protection lawyer, supporting international clients across various sectors, including financial services, life sciences, technology, manufacturing, and fashion and luxury, with data protection and eprivacy compliance challenges.

My practice also encompasses the data protection implications of cutting-edge technologies, including AI systems and their applications.

Prior to joining Bird & Bird, I practised in both data protection and intellectual property law, acting as an external DPO, advising on regulatory compliance and representing clients before supervisory authorities, as well as advising international clients on contentious and non-contentious IP matters relating to trademarks, patents, copyright and designs.

I have been a longstanding member of a joint working group involving leading law firms and major corporates focused on data protection and security.

I have authored numerous publications on data protection, technology and intellectual property law, and have been a speaker at various conferences and working groups on these topics.
