Becky White

Senior Data Protection & Privacy Solicitor

Get in touch

Becky is an experienced data protection and privacy lawyer who qualified in 2002. She supports clients with navigating data protection compliance and provides practical commercial advice related to privacy laws.  

I strongly believe that ensuring the protection of individuals' personal data and upholding privacy rights will continue to grow in importance and prominence, as technology continues to evolve, and we become ever more connected. I take a holistic approach by understanding clients' business models and commercial priorities first, then help them build fit-for-purpose privacy compliance programs and embed a culture of accountability.

Becky trained at DAC Beachcroft before spending most of her career as an in-house senior legal advisor across a variety of sectors including construction, oil and gas, government and recruitment. Her clients have ranged from growing enterprises to large multi-nationals. She was also the DPO for iSupply Energy (before its sale to EDF).   

I have first-hand experience building data protection programs from scratch, so I understand the challenges organisations can face when implementing policies and practices. Having been in-house, I recognise the importance of forging strong working relationships and seeing the commercial perspective on legal issues.

Becky has advised many of our notable clients including Monica Vinader, Croud, Freecycle, Plumm Health, Hopin, Norton Motorcycles, and Plentific. 

Her work has involved compliance assessments, drafting policies and agreements, breach reporting, international transfer advice, DPO support, ICO investigations, and delivering data privacy training. 

Outside of work, Becky enjoys beach life, stand-up paddle boarding, cold water swimming, travel and cooking. She lives on the South Coast with her family. 


TESTIMONIALS

What our clients say

Becky went above and beyond the call of duty… she was emailing me on Christmas Eve to get the matter sorted before the looming deadline. She also pivoted the data terms when a Brexit deal was reached, at the eleventh hour. It’s really helped make sure we are on top of things for our European clients
