Paula Garralon

I am associate in the Bird & Bird's Commercial and Privacy & Data Protection department in the Madrid office.

I specialise in privacy issues so I can provide continuous advice on data projects across multiple sectors, in particular on insurance legislation. In order to provide detailed advice it is necessary to know the sector in depth, so I regularly meet and get involved with as many teams as possible within the firm.

I have provided advice in multiple sectors (retail, food & beverage, insurance, telecoms, etc.) during the years prior to the application of the General Data Protection Regulation as well as during the implementation of the new regulation. I also specialise in electronic commerce legislation, so we provide a complete service not only on data protection but also on privacy and electronic commerce.

Meeting our client's needs and understanding how to anticipate problems before they arise is essential to being able to provide an efficient service for our clients. I am used to working internationally which has helped me to develop a wider view of the law. I have always believed that a good lawyer is the one who goes with you, guiding and providing solutions that enable our clients to meet their objectives.
