The main areas covered by the service include:

Dispute management: PANETTA Consulting Group assists companies and public bodies at every stage of litigation, from the pre-litigation phase and out-of-court settlement to defence before the courts.

The service also includes assistance in challenging measures and in negotiating any sanctions.

Out-of-court dispute resolution: PANETTA Consulting Group’s team is highly specialised in managing data protection disputes through alternative dispute resolution tools, such as mediation and arbitration.

Support in the event of a data breach: where a personal data breach occurs, PANETTA Consulting Group provides immediate assistance in managing the incident and mitigating legal risks. The service includes managing communications with supervisory authorities and data subjects, assessing litigation risk, and assisting in the negotiation of any compensation or out-of-court settlements.

Preventive advice: to reduce the likelihood of disputes, PANETTA Consulting Group offers targeted preventive advice aimed at strengthening compliance with regulations on the circulation and protection of data, through the analysis of internal processes, the review of corporate policies and staff training. This proactive approach helps prevent violations and reduce the risk of future litigation.
