Luís Neto Galvão to speak at UIA seminar to be held at EU Court of Justice on data protection

Luís Neto Galvão, SRS Advogados Partner in the TMT Group, will speak at the Union International des Avocats (UIA) international seminar on "Data Protection in the areas of Financial Technology (FinTech), Insurance and Medical Services- A new Regulation and Perspectives", to take place in Luxembourg from 30 September to 1 October.

The seminar will examine the challenges brought about by the new general regulation for data protection in the banking, insurance and health sectors. The Regulation, published in May 2016, plays a central part in data protection reform at a EU level, with a marked and extensive impact for companies in the context of a globalised economy that is increasingly data driven.

The seminar will involve the Prime Minister of Luxemburg, the Deputy Prime Minister of Justice of Luxembourg, the President of the EU Court of Justice, the President of the European Group of Data Protection (WP 29) and the Head of the French Agency CNIL, the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS), as well as leading European and American experts.

Luís Neto Galvão will be talking on: "Handling of Health Data in cloud storage within the framework of the new Regulation." 

As a Member of the Group of EC Experts on Cloud Computing Contracts, Luís Neto Galvão is currently working alongside other European specialists to prepare a course on data protection for the Council of Europe, which is being prepared for judges, prosecutors and lawyers.
