Filipe Mayer, Head, and Partner of TMT&Pi Department, speaks to Iberian Lawyer about the rules of the GDPR established by the European Union, which will be applicable from 26 May 2018.
To Filipe 'the implementation of GDPR will be the biggest challenge to be faced by TMT clients. It will place new obligations on all companies that collect personal data, not only on the technological side but also on the legal side.'
CCA ONTIER Partner also said that 'The media sector is facing a huge, and for some of them, traumatic, evolution. Traditional types of media such as newspapers and magazines are facing an unprecedented crisis - TV is also facing the competition of internet TV and online content.' Mayer says these trends are becoming increasingly clear and 'the option is to convert old and heavy media group structures into much lighter models totally adapted to the digital era.' He adds: 'In fact, we are already assisting on this transformation in some of the biggest Portuguese media groups.'
