August Debouzy proposes to assist you during the next twelve months in these steps of compliance, thanks to newsletters which will be released every month until May 2018 on the topics and key changes of the GDPR, together with free trainings for our clients and prospects in our offices.

2- Five practical training sessions will be organized during this period to analyze in further details the following points:
