Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice explains how Burke Legal (“we”, “us”) collects, uses and protects personal data when you visit this website, contact us, or engage our services. We are based in Ireland and process personal data in accordance with applicable Irish and EU data protection law, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Who we are

Burke Legal is the data controller for personal data processed through this website and in connection with our professional services. Our contact details appear below under “Contact”.

Personal data we may collect

• Contact information (e.g., name, email address, phone number, organisation, role).
• Communications you send to us (e.g., messages via forms, email correspondence, meeting notes).
• Professional information relevant to an instruction (e.g., counterparties, corporate identifiers, case references, documents you provide).
• Website technical data (e.g., IP address, device/browser details, approximate location, and logs) collected to operate and secure the site.

How we use personal data

• To respond to enquiries and provide information you request.
• To assess and, where appropriate, accept instructions; to deliver legal services and manage client relationships.
• To comply with legal and regulatory obligations (including professional conduct, anti-money laundering and sanctions checks where applicable).
• To operate, maintain and protect this website, prevent fraud and improve site performance.
• To send updates or insights where you have asked to receive them or where permitted by law (you can opt out at any time).

Legal bases for processing

We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis under GDPR. Depending on the context, this may include:

• Contract – processing necessary to provide requested legal services or take steps at your request prior to engagement.
• Legal obligation – compliance with applicable laws and professional obligations.
• Legitimate interests – operating and securing our business and website, and communicating with contacts, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Consent – where required (for example, certain marketing communications). You may withdraw consent at any time.

Sharing of personal data

We may share personal data with trusted service providers who support our business operations (for example, IT hosting, email, document management, and professional advisers), and with courts, regulators, insolvency practitioners, counsel, counterparties, and other parties where necessary for an instruction or as required by law. We do not sell personal data.

International transfers

Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we will implement appropriate safeguards as required by GDPR (such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses), unless an adequacy decision applies.

Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above, including to meet legal, regulatory, accounting and professional obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the instruction.

Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to processing, and to data portability. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commission.

Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data. However, no transmission over the internet is completely secure; please avoid sending highly sensitive information through unsecured channels.

Cookies

This site may use cookies or similar technologies to operate and to understand usage. Where required, we will provide appropriate notice and choices. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.
