Data protection has become a critical issue in M&A transactions. Regulatory frameworks such as the General Data Protection Regulation have increased scrutiny, potential liability exposure, and transaction complexity.
I would like to discuss:
How deeply should data protection be assessed during due diligence?
What are the most common hidden privacy risks in transactions?
How do data protection issues impact valuation or deal structure?
Can strong data protection actually create competitive advantage in a sale process?
Have you seen transactions delayed, repriced, or restructured due to privacy concerns? What best practices help avoid post-closing surprises?
Looking forward to your insights and sharing your experiences.
