Mihnea Dumitrascu

Mihnea Dumitrascu is an Associate in the London-based international Privacy & Data Protection practice. His primary practice area is Data Protection Law.

He advises UK and international clients across a variety of sectors on a wide range of international data and privacy issues, including core regulatory frameworks such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive, and emerging EU data laws.

He covers all aspects of data protection law, including advising on marketing rules, international data transfers, data processing and sharing agreements, data subject rights, privacy-related policies and procedures, and the implementation of new technologies.

A dynamic area that holds his keen interest is the intersection of AI and machine learning with data laws. His understanding of these advanced technologies allows him to guide clients through the legal nuances involved in the adoption of AI and machine learning solutions.

Beyond his advisory role, he also supports clients in data protection investigations and litigations before prominent data protection authorities, such as the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL), including holding direct discussions with data protection authorities and crafting responses and other correspondence.

His trilingual proficiency and experience working as part of an in-house team help him fully understand clients' needs and assist them with multi-jurisdictional and multi-lingual subjects. Before joining Bird & Bird, he worked in a top US technology company as part of their in-house department and in the tech and data protection practices of several French and US law firms.
