Cordery's Jonathan Armstrong was a guest recently on the ESI Survival Guide hosted by Matthew Knouff. Matt is an attorney and eDiscovery professional living and working in New York City.

It's a wide-ranging discussion including on data transfer adequacy decisions, UK data protection, GDPR, tips and tactics for those transferring data and the Schrems litigation. They also discuss Facebook dating, privacy and antitrust, French drones and some slightly off-topic differences between the US & UK too.

This interview was filmed on 4 February 2021. It pre-dates the EU draft adequacy decisions although Jonathan does predict them in this film. There is more information on the adequacy decisions at - https://bit.ly/brexadq​
