MLROs will typically be involved in either responding to, or assisting others to respond to, a range of requests for information.  This can include formal requests (ie production orders, disclosure notices, GFSC notices) as well as informal (such as pre-notice enquiries).  They can also be required to proactively provide information, such as making disclosures, consent requests, requirements to correct etc.   In doing so they need to balance obligations which fall upon them and their employer, with other obligations towards their current or former client and other third parties and manage other issues such as to avoid tipping off and data protection.   This talk will discuss in an interactive fashion how to navigate a safe path through what can be a minefield with Mourant's practical experience of what works and, just as importantly, what doesn’t.
