Manuela Cox

As an associate in Bird & Bird's Data Protection and Regulation practice, I help clients navigate complex data protection and commercial law challenges.

My work encompasses providing pragmatic, business-focused solutions to complex legal challenges, as well as representing clients in administrative disputes and private enforcement proceedings.

My in-house secondments with leading tech companies have given me invaluable insight into the practical data protection challenges businesses face daily. This experience enables me to deliver tailored legal advice that not only addresses regulatory requirements but also aligns with my clients' commercial objectives and operational realities.

Prior to joining Bird & Bird, I worked for an NGO and gained experience through internships at other leading law firms and the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency in New York.

I am a board member of Young Privacy Lawyers Netherlands Association (JPAN) and a member of the Dutch Privacy Law Association (VPR) and the Dutch Association for Information Technology & Law (NVvIR).
