LEGAL, REGULATORY & COMPLIANCE CONSULTANTS

About us

Handley Gill Limited is a consultancy based in London and SE, with links to NW & NE, offering specialist data protection and legal affairs advice and services. We work with a range of industries, but have particular specialisms in journalism and content creation, social media, and law enforcement.

About us

At Handley Gill, we combine cost-effective, pragmatic and robust advice with the in-depth technical knowledge and expertise necessary to provide quality data protection, privacy and wider legal advice, compliance and assurance services to our clients. 

​Our consultants have experience across the public and private sectors, working in-house as well as in professional services organisations, spanning a number of industries including: 

  • regulated industries, such as law firms and other legal professionals, financial institutions and other financial services providers, insurers and insurance intermediaries; 

  • retail, branding, advertising & marketing; 

  • technology start ups; 

  • content providers, including publishers, broadcasters, social media platforms and online and editorial content creators; 

  • political parties and lobbying groups; 

  • law enforcement entities;

  • charitable organisations; 

  • employment agencies; 

  • the public sector; 

  • sport and fitness; and, 

  • health care. 

​Our consultants hold relevant qualifications including the International Association of Privacy Professionals Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe (CIPP/E) certification, and the accredited OU Introduction to Cyber Security and University of Michigan Data Science Ethics course, so you can be assured of our expertise. Our consultants are also OneTrust Certified Privacy Professionals, and we can work with your organisation using OneTrust, as well as other privacy management platforms, or work with you to develop your own framework to demonstrate compliance with ethical, social and governance (ESG) risk.

​Our consultants also have expertise in developing policy and legislation, particularly in the data protection and media and content spheres, and have developed position papers and lobbying documents and engaged in lobbying on behalf of clients and in the wider interests of industry. We work with think tanks and other organisations to develop thought leadership and position papers in relation to data protection and content issues and associated regulatory matters.

​While our consultants are legally trained and qualified and have significant experience in providing legal services, our consultants do not act as solicitors or barristers and they are not subject to the rules regulating practising solicitors or barristers. We do not offer services in reserved legal activities i.e. the exercise of a right of audience (this does not restrict advocacy and representation before the First-Tier Tribunal (Information Rights)), the conduct of litigation, reserved instrument activities, probate activities, notarial activities, and the administration of oaths; nor do we provide immigration advice and services. We nevertheless aim to provide you with exceptional service, at a reasonable cost and significantly less than a law firm would charge for less experienced staff.
