Martim Taborda Barata

Martim is a Partner at ICTLC – an international law firm specializing in information and communication technology, privacy, data protection/security, and intellectual property law – having accumulated over 5 years of practical experience in these areas throughout his career. His primary focus is managing privacy and data protection compliance strategies for multinational clients (including organizations in the courier and mail delivery, fintech, banking, healthcare, payroll processing, compliance attestation, IT service provision, software development, cloud computing, food confection, and retail sectors), EU institutions and international organizations (notably in the humanitarian sector), as well as local subsidiaries and public institutions in Portugal (given that he is also a qualified Portuguese lawyer). As needed, he further advises these clients on ad hoc privacy/data protection matters, as well as on a range of related legal domains, notably intellectual property, IT, consumer, and gaming law. Martim further supports local start-ups and smaller companies (particularly software and video game developers) on the same topics, seeking to help them understand their rights and push back against unfair or misleading proposals from stronger counterparties. Together with other colleagues at ICTLC, he played an important role in drafting and revising the current CSA Code of Conduct for GDPR Compliance and continues to assist CSA on the Code by providing support in the management of CSP self-attestations, as well as collaborating with CSA’s Privacy Level Agreement Working Group (PLA WG) to further develop the Code.
