Data Protection & Privacy

Health data is among the most sensitive categories of personal information, and its handling is tightly regulated.

Typical support includes:

• Compliance with GDPR, AU & NZ Privacy Act, UK Data Protection Act and HIPAA (where applicable).
• Drafting and reviewing data-processing and data-sharing agreements.
• Advising on anonymisation, consent and secondary use of data.
• Drafting and amending consents.
• Managing data-breach response and regulator notification.
• Cross-border data-transfer strategy and documentation.

At Lodestar Legal, we help organisations manage and protect one of their most valuable assets — data. 

In a landscape defined by rapid technological change, evolving regulation and heightened public scrutiny, our data protection and privacy specialists provide practical legal solutions that safeguard information and support responsible innovation.

We advise clients on compliance with key privacy frameworks, including the Privacy Act, GDPR and other international data protection laws. 

Our team assists businesses in developing robust privacy governance structures — from drafting data protection policies and privacy notices to conducting DPIAs (Data Protection Impact Assessments) and managing cross-border data transfers.

Lodestar Legal also supports clients in establishing clear and compliant data-sharing, processing and outsourcing arrangements. We regularly review and negotiate data processing agreements, ensuring that risk is properly allocated and regulatory obligations are met.

For organisations that experience a data breach or cyber incident, our data breach lawyers and privacy lawyers provide swift, strategic guidance to manage regulatory reporting, customer communications and reputational risk.

We work closely with boards, senior management and compliance teams to embed privacy considerations into every stage of business decision-making – whether developing new technologies, launching digital health solutions, or expanding internationally.

From startups to multinationals, Lodestar Legal combines deep legal expertise with a commercial understanding of how data drives modern business. Our goal is simple: to help you use data confidently, lawfully and ethically.
