A GLITTERING NIGHT OF SUCCESS AT BIRMINGHAM LAW SOCIETY AWARDS Anthony Collins Solicitors was the big winner at last night’s Birmingham Law Society Legal Awards, picking up four gongs.

The city centre firm was named Law Firm of the Year (16 partners or more), beating rivals Gateley Plc, Irwin Mitchell, Mills & Reeve, Shoosmiths and VWV (Veale Wasbrough Vizards).

Anthony Collins Solicitors also collected awards for Business Team of the Year and Private Client Team of the Year – two new categories for this year – while the firm’s Letitia Ait-Tales won Paralegal of the Year.

In the other categories, there were awards for Greg Fearn, Mills & Reeve - Trainee Solicitor of the Year; Jeremy Weston QC, St Ives Chambers - Barrister of the Year; Kashmir Uppal, Access Legal – Partner of the Year; Kid Harwood, Wildings Solicitors – BLS Innovation Award; Rosie Banks, Irwin Mitchell – BLS Pro Bono Award; Sandra Wallace, DLA Piper UK – BLS Leadership Award; JM Wilson Solicitors – Law Firm of the Year (sole practitioner up to four partners); and Sydney Mitchell – Law Firm of the Year (5 – 15 partners).

The Birmingham Law Society Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Mary Kaye, partner at Shakespeare Martineau and past president of BLS.

Presenting the award on behalf of the Society, president Andrew Beedham, said: “I couldn’t think of a more worthy recipient of this accolade than Mary. With a career spanning more than 40 years, she is a true champion of the city’s legal sector and an inspiration to the many who know her.”

Commenting on the category winners, Andrew added: “Many

congratulations to Anthony Collins Solicitors, who were the runaway winners on the night.”

“The judges were particularly impressed with the firm’s strong commitment to its staff and its approach to attracting and developing those who want to make a difference in society.

“In what was a tough year for the judges, there were some really stand-out candidates and both the winners and finalists should be proud of their achievements.”

Birmingham Law Society is celebrating its bicentenary in 2018. This year’s Legal Awards, which were attended by more than 550 people, were just one of a number of planned special events being held throughout the year to celebrate the Society’s 200th anniversary.

1. I have GDPR covered…. It is with my IT providerWhilst the General Data Protection Regulations will address the significant changes in technology since the Data Protection Act 1998, the considerations do not just stop with your IT provider. A thorough understanding of how your business deals with data is paramount. Knowing where data is stored, that location’s security, as well as determining whether the data is being shared will be critical, come May 2018. I would recommend that companies undertake a data audit.

2. I outsource everything, so my third party providers are liable for sorting out GDPRThis is not the case. Companies will need to establish the external bodies that hold or process data on their behalf and what steps they are taking to comply with GDPR.

3. I don’t need to start looking at this until 25th MayAbsolutely not – you need to be ready by 25th May, not thinking about it.In 2016, the EU adopted the General Data Protection Regulation. It replaces the

1995 Data Protection Directive which was adopted at a time when the internet was in its infancy. Member states of the EU have been given two years to ensure that they are fully implementable in their countries by May 2018.

4. Do I need to worry about this now, as we are leaving the EU?The Queen’s speech in June 2017 confirmed that the GDPR will form part of UK law following the withdrawal from the EU.

5. My business does not need to comply with GDPR as I do not store or process any personal information.I have heard this comment so many times over the last 12 months. It is also a point that is made internally by some departments. There is a general misunderstanding of what constitutes personal data. The regulations state that any company that stores or process personal information about EU citizens must comply with the GDPR. This effectively means every business with at least 1 employee or those who keep records of their customers will be required to comply with the GDPR.

I would strongly urge all businesses to nominate a data protection officer/privacy manager (whichever is appropriate) and ensure that they are ready by 25th May 2018. This is a great opportunity for business owners to get their housekeeping in order. It is also something that should not stop on 25th May and each business needs to consider how they will monitor data handling and address breaches in the correct way. The fines from the ICO (Information Commissioners Office) could be quite high if you have neglected the way in which you store or process data.

In addition, it is evident from our recent roundtable sessions, the DIB poll and just general feedback from our clients that raising awareness and training is very important. I would strongly advise that the changes you make are covered within your policies and induction process. For existing staff, good communication and briefing sessions about the changes will reduce your future risk of breaches.

A practical guide to GDPR is available, please contact alex@highperformanceconsultancy for further information.

IS YOUR BUSINESS GDPR READY?In a recent survey conducted by Downtown in Business an astonishing 77.8% of businesses reported that they are GDPR ready……. really? We have been partnering over the last few months with DIB and some leading IT providers to conduct roundtable events within Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham, to provide some guidance and support to businesses to prepare them for GDPR.

It would appear that many businesses that have attended these sessions have been unaware of their responsibilities and what practical steps they need to take before 25th May 2018. Victoria Brown at HR and Employment Law specialists High Performance Consultancy, looks into some of the common points raised about being GDPR ready.

“I would strongly urge all businesses

to nominate a data protection

officer/privacy manager and

ensure that they are ready by 25th

May 2018.”

Forget the new season wardrobe detox and instead invest in fashion you’ll cherish forever. From statement embroidery to stunning sequins, be inspired by the timelessness of impeccable craftsmanship and design. LISA PIDDINGTON, from Harvey Nichols Birmingham, proves opulence is never out of style with these lust-worthy pieces.

EYE OPENER: Enriched with caffeine and mica, the Truly Brighter Eye Balm (£19) helps brighten and energise. Make sure to smooth

from outside of your eye, back to the bridge of your nose to tackle those under-eye bags.

CLEAN SLATE: Purefectly Clean Face Wash (£17) is a charcoal-enriched

face gel with peppermint extract and is a sure-fire route to clearer looking skin. Apply when the face is still wet and rub for a minute, forehead down, to ward off bacteria.

A CLOSE SHAVE: Use Neat Cut Shaving Cream (£15) after you shower, when your face’s bristles have been softened by steam. Your skin’s follicles will be open – giving you a closer shave, with reduced risk of nicks.

THINK PERFECT INK: With more than 40 artistic creations, David Beckham knows a thing or two about tattooed skin. Spray Bold Statement Tattoo Body Moisturiser (£22) directly on to the

target area and massage until absorbed. You’ll create a barrier between your skin and the elements, preventing fading or stretching.

THE MULTI-TASKER: Even the manliest of skin needs protection. Step forward Broad Defense Face Moisturiser SPF20 (£22) which hydrates and protects against pollution. Plus, a cheeky pinch can be great for taming any Sideshow Bob hair moments.

WELL GROOMED: Softer Touch Beard Oil (£22) is a lightweight and non-greasy oil that will not only keep your beard tamed and nourished, but is essential prep for the skin pre-shaving.

From must-have tattoo moisturiser to the cleanser that delivers, these hero products from HOUSE 99 prove looking good shouldn’t be a chore. LISA PIDDINGTON rounds up the latest grooming range from David Beckham.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is just one of many procedures Dr Holloran specialises in to tackle those areas which have always bothered you and to give you the confidence to feel amazing.
