An experienced and respected solicitor, Adnan Malik is the Head of Data protection at Barings Law, Manchester. With more than 12 years’ experience working in Law, Adnan has developed a deep understanding of the complexities surrounding data protection and the critical role it plays in today’s digital age.

Adnan’s passion for this area of law stems from his belief that data is an invaluable commodity. He is committed to ensuring that large organisations are held accountable when they fail to adhere to appropriate laws and regulations. Adnan’s work focuses on setting a precedent for responsible data management, emphasising the importance of safeguarding individuals’ digital footprints to prevent identity theft and other privacy breaches.
