Adequação de escritórios de advocacia à lei geral de proteção de dados

Abstract

The present work has as its theme the compliance of the General Data Protection Law, Law 13.709/18 (LGPD), in law practice. More specifically, it is necessary to observe how the enactment of the LGPD influences the performance of law firms that deal with various personal data, and it is necessary to adapt the internal processes that deal with them. From this point of view, an attempt is made to answer the following question: What steps, then, should law firms take to adapt their internal processes to the General Data Protection Law? Regarding methodology, the dissertation will be prepared from a critical analysis of the collected bibliographic material, coming from books, articles and periodicals focused on data protection, and on matters of regulation of the legal activity itself. It is hypothesized that the LGPD brings a series of regulations and requirements that demand the attention of law firms, and it is necessary to recognize the peculiarities of each area of advocacy. As a general objective, therefore, we must analyse the measures to be implemented by law firms, regarding their processing of personal data, considering the LGPD. As a specific objective, we must establish specific measures to be implemented by the same, as well as create a consent form for the use of data considering different areas of advocacy. It was possible, therefore, to review the data protection bibliography, as well as the legal regulations, and to establish measures to be implemented by the offices, as well as to create a term of consent for the use of data for them.
