Zunic Law for Data Protection

 

Zunic Law is the leading law firm in Serbia in the field of Data Protection. Our team provides comprehensive legal support to companies throughout the process of aligning with the GDPR and national data protection regulations.

Our approach is practical, efficient, and fully tailored to the business needs of our clients, allowing us to implement the entire compliance framework within just a few days. During the compliance process, we conduct data flow mappings, risk assessments, prepare the necessary documentation, and draft DPA agreements that clearly define the obligations and responsibilities of controllers and processors. Our clauses are fully aligned with current regulatory requirements and significantly reduce legal risks.

For international companies, we prepare legal framework analyses and recommendations to ensure that cross-border data transfers are lawful and sustainable. We also create clear and accessible privacy policies for websites and applications, fully compliant with the GDPR and best practices, and ensure their regular updates.

Zunic Law represents clients before supervisory authorities and during audits, providing precise and timely responses to regulators, thereby minimizing financial and reputational risks. During M&A transactions, our team conducts GDPR due diligence, identifies potential risks, and provides post-transaction compliance guidance.

Our approach connects legal compliance with information security, in accordance with standards such as NIS2, DORA, and ISO. This enables companies to strengthen their protective measures, increase system resilience, and reduce exposure to cyber risks.

For organizations without an internal Data Protection Officer (DPO), we offer an external DPO service, managing compliance and communication with supervisory authorities on behalf of the client. For companies outside the EU, we provide the Data Protection Representative service, acting as a contact point for EU citizens and regulators.

In addition to advisory services, Zunic Law organizes data protection training programs – from basic GDPR workshops for employees and managers to specialized courses for DPOs. The goal of these training courses is to equip employees with the knowledge and skills needed for responsible and secure handling of personal data, effective risk management, and cooperation with supervisory authorities in their day-to-day work.
