McGarr Solicitors’ expertise in European data protection and privacy law is unrivalled.

Our firm helped shape European privacy laws, and we remain at the forefront of Ireland’s most groundbreaking data protection actions.

Award Winning Irish Legal Firm
McGarr Solicitors is one of the Irish Independent Statistia Top 75 Law Firms of 2022 and of 2023 and was awarded Civil Litigation Law Firm of the Year in Ireland for 2025 by our international peers.
McGarr Solicitors specialise in data protection support for organisations facing litigation risks. We collaborate with your in-house team or legal representatives to mitigate risks and prepare a compliant DSAR response by:
- Reviewing all relevant documents, communications, and records.
- Identifying the personal data required for disclosure.
- Redacting non-essential information from the response.
A well-handled response may prevent escalation, while a delayed or inadequate reply can undermine your defence and increase exposure.
Personal data breaches pose legal and reputational risks, with regulatory investigations straining internal resources. Our firm works to protect you by ensuring compliance with data breach reporting obligations to the Data Protection Commission.
We have successfully represented businesses under investigation by the Irish Data Protection Commissioner and, when necessary, pursued judicial review proceedings to ensure strong legal protection for our clients.
